Originally built in the 15th century as a Wealden hall house it was acquired by the local borough in 1729 to be used as a workhouse which it remained until closure in 1835 when a new larger poor law union house was established in Shoreham which later became Southlands Hospital. It reverted to residential use and is now divided into three dwellings.
