Southwick Hall dates back to the 1300's and has been home to only 3 families.

This is a venue with so much history, its difficult to fit it all in.

The house was owned from the 1300's by the Knyvet family who were wealthy wool merchants.   One member of the Knyvet family was Lord Chancellor to Kind Edward III.   This family remained at the house until the15th century, after which, the Lynne family took ownership.

The Lynne family included scientists, lawyers, and an MP over the years so were considered a wealthy, noble family.  The MP was supposedly closely associated with the execution of Mary Queen of Scots and it is believed that the execution Warrant is hidden within the walls of Southwick Hall...

During the Victorian Era, the Capron family took over the house and estate and still own this property today.  During the last 200 years, there have been many additions to the estate such as stable blocks and these would become places of work during the World Wars for evacuees, Land Girls and Prisoners of War.

800 years of history all in one place!  This is a prime location for ghostly goings-on!!
