MICHELHAM, a farm in the SE of Sussex; on the river Cuckmere, 2 miles W of Hailsham. An Augustinian canonry was founded here, in the time of Henry III., by Gilbert de Aquila; and went, after the dissolution, to the Sackvilles. The buildings formed a spacions quadrangle; have been converted into a farm-house; are surrounded by a wide moat, tenanted by water lilies, and frequented by the otter; are entered through a square, three-story, gateway tower; include a crypt, now used as a dairy, with an interesting ancient apartment above it; and show features of early English architecture.
