The property has some interesting historical connections. It is understood that an old summerhouse in the grounds, evidence of which can still be seen, was the site of a meeting in 1914 between Prince Munster, the then owner of Maresfield Park, and two of the sisters of the Kaiser of Germany who were holidaying in England at the time. The meeting was to advise them that war was about to be declared and to return to Germany as soon as possible. During World War II, the area was used as an Army Camp and our property as a base for the Royal Engineers.

On the southern side is a sunken road that was the 17th century route of the London to Lewes coach road; the public house in Maresfield village being a former coaching inn. The route of a Roman road also crosses the land but is not evident
