About Parham Park Trust (1984)

Parham Park Trust (1984) is a charitable trust established in 1984 to safeguard the preservation, maintenance, and improvement of Parham Park, a Grade I listed Elizabethan mansion, gardens, outbuildings, and parkland in West Sussex. Transferred to charitable ownership by the Pearson family, the Trust generates sustainable income from assets, including the Northwick Business Centre in Gloucestershire, to primarily fund Parham Park Limited, the operating charity responsible for conservation, public access, and estate management. Its mission embodies custodianship, historical preservation, cultural access, environmental stewardship, and excellence, ensuring this nationally significant heritage site endures for future generations. The Trust is a singularly focused, asset-backed entity dedicated to one irreplaceable historic landscape.
