Southwick Village

Highlight • Historical Site

On first impressions, Southwick might look like any other rural English village. There's a lot more to this place than it seems at first glance though. The entire village is under the ownership of Southwick Estate, originally formed hundreds of years ago. A grand manor, Southwick House, lies just to the east of the village and was first built in the early 19th century although underwent major renovation after a fire.

The house and much of the estate was requisitioned by the military during the Second World War. Today the house and Southwick Park, where it lies, is used by the Defence School of Policing and Guarding – the training centre for police in the British Armed Services.

As you explore the village, note than most of the houses have red doors: a requirement in the tenancy agreements.
