War of the Roses - 1455

Although Horsham was not a bishopric seat, the Bishopric Palace (often known as the Old Manor House) belonged to the Bishop of Chichester and served as a residence or rest stop. It was a prominent example of early timber-framed architecture, featuring a courtyard and surrounded by small gardens, reflecting the grandeur of its past.

A sprawling timber-framed manor house with a central courtyard, framed by lush gardens and decorative hedges, under a bright blue sky, its imposing structure standing out against the town's skyline.
