Wiston House remodelled, by Roger White, published January 1984 in Architectural History the journal the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain (vol. 27, article, pp.242-254)   View Online
Abstract:
Sussex is not normally considered a particularly rewarding county for the historian of eighteenth-century architecture. In terms of great house building its heyday was the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, a period which produced a notable string of mansions along the northern foot of the Downs - Glynde, Danny, Wiston, and Parham, among others. To the more refined sensibilities of the eighteenth century the county was little short of primeval. Thomas Fuller's judgement in 1662 ('A fruitfull County, though very durty for the travellers therein, so that it may be better measured to its advantage, by days journeys then by miles') was endorsed with interest in the next century by Horace Walpole, who reckoned that 'the whole country has a Saxon air, and the inhabitants are savage, as if King George the 2nd was the first monarch of the East Angles'
