Court Lodge Farmhouse

Court Lodge Farmhouse is a timber-framed house, likely dating from the 17th century or earlier. The exterior was largely rebuilt in the 18th century using red brick with grey headers, tile hanging, and weatherboarding, topped with a tiled roof. The house is L-shaped and has two storeys, with three windows on the front elevation, and casement windows throughout. The property is situated in Warbleton village and historically served as the location for the manor courts, and the interior retains two cells, now a bathroom, that originally adjoined the courtroom, featuring an interior window with old green glass. The house is linked to Richard Woodman, a Protestant martyr who was burned at Lewes in 1557; while he may have resided here, his original house may have been demolished, as indicated by a tablet in the churchyard marking its former location in the adjacent meadow.
