MANOR HOUSE, LITTLEHAMPTON
The Manor House in Littlehampton, West Sussex is currently the home of both the local Town Council and the Littlehampton Museum. The Manor House was built between 1790 and 1830 on the site of Manor Farm.The earliest part of the building is to the right, where the main entrance is located, with two extensions being added shortly after its construction.
The building has been home to many important Littlehampton residents during its time, including the Ollivers, a successful farming come shipbuilding family, and Dr John Candy, a medical man who, in the nineteenth century, was responsible for delivering most of Littlehampton’s townsfolk into this world!
The building was purchased by Littlehampton Urban District Council from a Mrs Drummond-Murray in 1932, and opened officially as their offices in 1934.
Aedificium Conservation worked closely with Planning Officers from the Council as members of the heritage team from the museum to restore and maintain the building’s interior and exterior.
