HERSTMONCEUX CASTLE, HOME OF GREENWICH OBSERVATORY  

One of the architectural jewels of Sussex is Herstmonceux Castle lying in  

quiet valley eight miles from Eastbourne. Like Bodiam Castle, Herst-  

monceux is surrounded by moat, but unlike any other castle in Britain, it  

is built of Flemish brick, now mellowed to silver-grey, and was one of the  

first to be constructed of this material.  

The Castle was built in 1440 at cost of £3,800 by Sir Roger de Fiennes,  

who fought at the Battle of Agincourt and subsequently became treasurer to  

Henry VI. It was built near the site of manor-house belonging to the  

Monceux family who married into the de Hersts —after whom the Castle and  

village are jointly named. Herstmonceux was designed as stately domestic  

residence and yet, with its machicolated towers and battlemented walls, draw-  

bridge and portcullis, it had all the traditional elements of defence. Its walls,  

over two hundred feet in length, were built in the form of square, enclosing  

four courtyards in which were the galleried living apartments, dairies, brew-  

house, kitchens and cellars. One of the finest features of the Castle is the  

imposing entrance gateway with its massive flanking towers. On the first  

floor of the gatehouse is the Drummer’s Hall, so named because it is supposed  

to be haunted by the sound of ghostly drumming.  

Many stories are told to account for this strange happening, among them  

being that the noise is made by the spirit of woman who was buried alive  

there another asserts that the mysterious drumming was made by the spirit  

of Lord Dacre, one of the owners of the Castle, in an effort to frighten away  

the suitors of his widow when they appeared,  

Herstmonceux has many tragic and curious associations. One of its  

owners, Lord Dacre, who received Anne of Cleves when she arrived in'England  

in 1540, was beheaded for accidentally killing gamekeeper. later heiress  

is said to have been starved to death in the room known as Lady’s Bower by  

her jealous governess. In 1777, owing to woman’s greed and jealousy, the  

interior of the great Castle was dismantled so that the materials could be used  

to build mansion nearby. She anticipated that the Castle would pass to  

her husband’s heir and not to apy child of hers. Thus the Castle fell into  

ruin until restored in 1933 and it now houses the famous Greenwich Observa-  

tory, which moved there in 1940.
