CLAYTON PRIORY IS LISTED GRADE II*, BEING OF PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT ‘HISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST’, AND IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC REGENCY COUNTRY HOUSE. The property is understood to date from 1820, designed by John Biagio Rebecca for a Brighton merchant called Robert Podmore. The house, originally named New Priory, instantly gained recognition in the area for its fine architectural design and was mentioned in the 1835 Horsfield edition of History and Antiquities of the County of Sussex as “... and elegant and commodious mansion on an elevated situation...” Externally, the main double-fronted eastern facade is typical of the Regency style, with symmetrical sash windows, a classical pediment and a fine entrance portico with fluted ionic columns.

To the southern side of the house is a colonnade of Doric columns extending along the whole of the ground floor, over which is the Latin inscription ‘Sola in Deo Salvs’, which translates as ‘Only in God is our Salvation.’
