Parham House & Gardens

Booking details to follow

Parham has been a cherished family home since its foundation stone was first laid during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in 1577. My great-grandparents the Hon. Clive and Alicia Pearson bought the Estate in 1922. Over the next 40 years, they restored the House with great sensitivity and care, filling it with interesting and beautiful things.

They opened Parham, with its lovely Walled Garden and Pleasure Grounds, to visitors in 1948, simply because they very much wanted to share it with others. Their daughter Veronica Tritton, my great-aunt, devoted her life to its care until she died in 1993. Parham is now owned by a Charitable Trust, and I have lived here with my husband and sons since 1994. We honour the generous ethos and traditions of my ancestors and of all those in the past who have shaped this very special place.

Parham's tranquillity and beauty have changed little over the centuries. I hope that you will come to visit it and that you will have a very happy time here."
