EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Coombe Place, Offham, Sussex - A Glimpse into the Past" Coombe Place, nestled in the picturesque village of Offham, Lewes, Sussex, England, stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural grandeur of the past. This photograph, captured in the year 1930, offers a captivating glimpse into the bygone era. Coombe Place, a Grade I listed building, is a fine example of Elizabethan architecture, with its distinctive red-brick facade, ornate Tudor-arched windows, and the impressive gatehouse adorned with intricate carvings. The estate, which dates back to the 16th century, has been the residence of various noble families, including the Sackvilles, the Dormans, and the Culpepers. The serene landscape surrounding Coombe Place adds to its charm. The lush greenery, the meandering river Ouse, and the rolling hills in the background create a breathtaking tableau. The tranquility of the scene is further accentuated by the absence of modern structures, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the historical context. The year 1930 marked a significant period in the history of Coombe Place. It was during this time that the estate was acquired by the Sussex County Council, who later opened it to the public as a museum and art gallery. This photograph, therefore, serves as a precious record of the estate before it became accessible to a wider audience. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the architectural beauty and historical significance of Coombe Place. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the stories and people who once called this magnificent building their home.
