Parham House & Gardens

As part of the celebrations for Horsham Year of Culture, Parham will be hosting a Watercolour Exhibition by award-winning local painter, Gordon Rushmer. Accents on the Landscape – Ancient Churches of West Sussex will be on display in the Seed Room from 1st – 15th September. Here we speak to Gordon about what inspired his work and what visitors can look forward to seeing.

Over the season we will be sharing regular recipes from our in-house chef, Neil Rusbridger. You can find these delicious recipes featured on our seasonal menu in the Big Kitchen. We hope you enjoy making these dishes to enjoy for yourself.

In our latest “People of Parham” feature we speak to Parham’s wonderful Warden and Keeper of Clocks, Valerie Myers. Valerie has a particularly special relationship with Parham, having been born and raised here on the Estate.

Our Orchard is home to a variety of dessert and culinary apples including many old varieties. Last autumn we had an abundance of apples like never seen before, so we decided it was time to create our first Parham Orchard Cider with the surplus fruits.

Parham is home to an outstanding collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century clocks. Each and every clock is exquisite but there is one timepiece in particular that captures the spirit of Parham for Lady Emma; the longcase clock that has stood in the Great Hall for over 250 years.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new head gardening team here at Parham. Erika Packard will join us as Head Gardener with her husband and horticulturalist Tim Miles as Assistant Head Gardener this September.
