Step back in time and uncover the rich history of Graylingwell Park, once home to the West Sussex County
We are delighted to welcome Greg Slay back for our Heritage Walks in 2025, where his deep knowledge and passion bring Graylingwell’s remarkable past to life.
Starting at the beautifully restored Graylingwell Chapel, you'll learn about its original purpose as a place of sanctuary for patients. Today, the Chapel serves as a community hub and home to an archive preserving the fascinating legacy of the asylum.
As you wander through the Victorian buildings that still stand, Greg will guide you through the history of their innovative use in patient care, painting a vivid picture of life at Graylingwell during its operational years. From the architecture to the stories of the people who lived and worked here, every detail brings this heritage site to life.
Your journey concludes back at The Chapel Café, where you can relax with a warm drink and a delicious treat, reflecting on the remarkable history you’ve just explored.
