Description
The Ruins of Brambletye House are the remains of a mansion built by Sir Henry Compton during the reign of James I. The ruins mainly consist of three towers, each three storeys high, which now stand unattached to one another. The structure is made of ashlar stone. The west tower features an ogee-shaped cupola with a finial on top. The central tower, which served as the entrance porch with rooms above, displays the date 1631 in a lozenge above the second-floor window. This tower also has a four-centre archway with carved spandrels and a dripstone above it, along with a cartouche and a cornice that rises to form an ogee. The east tower is simpler, with one window on each floor. All the windows have stone mullions, and the west tower still retains its glass. To the north of the towers, there is a round-headed stone archway with a keystone and imposts, along with sections of wall on either side.
