dbo:abstract
  • Wadhurst Castle is a 19th-century castellated mansion just to the west of the town of Wadhurst, East Sussex, England, in an elevated position overlooking the countryside to the south. It is a grade II listed building. First built in 1818-20 by James Louis West, on the site of the farmhouse of Maplehurst, it was bought by Benjamin Harding in 1838, for whom it was remodelled to its present appearance by the architect Edward Buckton Lamb. The existing parkland was also developed at the same time, and the terraced gardens, and entrance lodge on the present B2099, were added. The castle was purchased by Edward Watson-Smyth in 1844, and he enlarged it to the north-east and also further extended the parkland. After the First World War, parts of the estate were sold off, the northern part being developed as housing, the present Castle Walk. The gardens are also Grade II listed. The castle is now a licensed venue for weddings. (en)
