Uppark House
Distance from The Angel Hotel - 8 miles
A late 17th century house in an impressive setting.
The drama of the 1989 fire and restoration adds to the magic of this romantic house, which is set high on the South Downs
with magnificent sweeping views to the sea. The elegant Georgian interior houses a famous Grand Tour collection that includes
paintings, furniture and ceramics. An 18th century doll's house with original contents is one of the highlights. The complete
servants' quarters in the basement are shown as they were in Victorian days when H.G.Wells' mother was housekeeper. The beautiful
and peaceful garden is now fully restored in the early 19th century Picturesque style, in a downland and woodland setting.
The author, H.G.Wells had a close association with Uppark, Midhurst and The Angel Hotel. For more information see H.G.Wells
