LOCATION
Telscombe Village, nestled in East Sussex, exudes charm with its picturesque setting. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush countryside, it offers a peaceful retreat from urban life while still being within easy reach of nearby towns like Lewes. The village is characterised by its quaint cottages, manor houses and historic buildings, and is nestled in the South Downs National Park, fostering a unique and quintessential atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.
AMBROSE GORHAM & GORHAM’S GIFT
Local race horse owner Ambrose Gorham trained his horses on the gallops on Telscombe Tye. In 1902, his horse Shannon Lass won the Grand National and Gorham celebrated his win by restoring St Laurence church in Telscombe village. He later purchased Stud Farm in 1923. Gorham went on to purchase the majority of properties in the village and built the village club in 1924 for recreational purposes.
Ambrose Gorham died in 1933 and bequeathed his property in trust, vested to the Brighton Corporation for retention in perpetuity in order to protect the village. In 1935, a charitable trust named ’Gorham's Gift’ was established by High Court order to preserve the rural characteristics of the village. To this day, the Village Club, along with other properties and farmland surrounding the village, is managed by Trustees who aim to renovate and repair the buildings to promote the traditional village values that Ambrose Gorham himself held.
SERVICES
The Village Club benefits from mains water and electricity, drainage, oil fired central heating and an inglenook fireplace.
