A large portion of the Highfields Estate formerly belonged to the Sackville Family, but was sold some years ago [est c 1800] by one of the Earls De La Warr to Mr. [Richard] Price, who had previously erected the present house on adjoining land which was at one time known as Upper Cushmans. The first house he built was of wood, and was immediately blown down; the present building ..... is of stone and most substantial. From it, magnificent views are obtained of the surrounding country - Tunbridge Wells, Mayfield, Lamberhurst, Crowborough, and many other distant places are clearly visible. The North Carriage Drive was planted about the year 1858 with Wellingtonias and Limes; the former are magnificent specimens. The Park consists of about 116 acres and has some fine oak trees. On the death of Mr. Price, Mr J.R. Haig came into the estate, and, dying in 1896, was succeeded by his second son, Mr. David Price Haig ..... to whom nearly all the land in Blackham belongs. | |||||
