Hazards: This place is a potential death trap, unstable beams, partially supported walls, lack of floor, risk of falling from great height, rotten boards, falling masonry, flooring nails, loose floorboards, vandals, hysteric ghosthunters, satanists etc, (ok they're a washout, but I did once trip over their ouija board) and the omnipresent sinister attack pigeons.

To southerners this is something of a classic, or well known location, but I thought I'd put it up anyway to help get things started, I'm not advertising it in a 'come and look at this' kind of way though, really I'm providing a place where information and URLs may be pooled. I shall not go into the history of the building too much here, Sub-urban has what I consider to be the best history of the building.
The original owner of this magnificent house was Reverend. E.D.L Harvey OBE, a Justice of the Peace, and West Sussex County Council vice chairman, The Harvey died in 1938, and shortly afterwards it was sold, and after the war it became a rehabilitation institution, and later part of a college, which sold it in the 1980s, after this, Beedingwood went irretrievably downhill, aided by an illegal rave and arson attacks, allegedly the owners are waiting to have it become really unsafe and get it demolished.
I have visited on many occasions, and found each enjoyable, unfortunately, each time I found it more vandalised than the last, features of particular noteworthiness include: The tourelle, the round room, the carved screen, and the floor tiles.
