Activity Detail Page

Anne of Cleves House formed part of her divorce settlement from Henry VIII in 1541, although she never actually lived there. The 16th century timber - framed Wealden hall - house contains wide - ranging collections of Sussex interest. Furnished rooms give an impression of life in the 17th and 18th centuries and the kitchen and bedroom recreate their original setting. The displays feature Lewes from the 16th century to the present day and the Wealden ironwork gallery has artefacts from firebacks and cannon to boot - scrapers and chimney backs, illustrating this influential Sussex industry.
