Pelham House
Pelham House is a large red-bricked building at St Andrews Lane in Lewes, East Sussex. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The house was built in the 16th century for the Goring family and enlarged in the mid-18th century during its ownership by the Pelham family.[1][2] It was enlarged again in the early-19th century.[1] It became the offices and meeting place of East Sussex County Council in 1938.[3] The County Council moved their offices to St Anne's Crescent in Lewes in 1968 and ceased using Pelham house as a meeting place in 2003.[3] The house was subsequently acquired by five families who converted the house into a conference centre and hotel.[4][5]
