Wilcox recently joined us for a private
celebrity event at Bolebroke Castle
Bolebroke Castle at Hartfield, the village made famous by Pooh bear, was
built around 1480 and is the earliest brick built building in Sussex.
Henry VIII used Bolebroke when he went hunting for wild boar and venison
in the nearby Ashdown Forest. Anne Boleyn, who lived at Hever Castle 5
miles away was courted by Henry VIII from there.
Set in a stunningly beautiful location on a 30 acre estate away from
main roads and noise where pheasant and deer roam the meadows and
woodlands.
Each season provides its own beauty - in Springtime the carpets of
daffodils and bulbs, the rhododendrons of May/June, the mantles of water
lilies on the lakes in July/August and the turning of the Virginia
creeper to red on the castle and the autumn tints of September/October.
The castle has been loved and cared for through the centuries and has a
wealth of history having been owned by the Earls and Dukes of Dorset.
There are many fine rooms with original beamed ceilings and wood
panelling. Everywhere in the castle is 16th century furniture and
tapestries depicting scenes of the period.
The Elizabethan staircase carved from solid oak is one of the finest in
existence.
This has the second
largest fireplace in England where we have roaring
log fires in winter, though we are fully centrally
heated.
There is a fine collection of arms and
armour displayed here.
Our banqueting hall
contains fine wood panelling
and a very unusual ceiling, decorated with motifs of
animals of the forest.
