Building in West Sussex, England

Field Place in 1961

**Field Place** is a [Grade I listed](/source/Grade_I_listed) house in [Warnham](/source/Warnham), [West Sussex](/source/West_Sussex), England.[1] It is the birthplace of the poet [Percy Bysshe Shelley](/source/Percy_Bysshe_Shelley), born there in 1792.

The house dates back to the thirteenth and fourteenth-centuries.[2] It has been restored to the state it was in when Shelley lived there.[2]

Field Place was built in about 1353 by Richard Felde, and this part is now the east wing.[3] It was later owned by the Mychel family who had added the south wing by 1525.[3] In 1729, it was bought by Edward Shelley.[3] On his death, the house was inherited by his nephew Sir [Timothy Shelley](/source/Timothy_Shelley) (1753–1844), and the poet [Percy Bysshe Shelley](/source/Percy_Bysshe_Shelley) (1792–1822) was his eldest son.[3] The farm buildings and much of the land is now owned separately.[3] Percy Bysshe Shelley spent his youth at Field Place, but never lived there as an adult.[4] His son [Sir Percy Shelley, 3rd Baronet](/source/Sir_Percy_Shelley%2C_3rd_Baronet) (1819–1889) inherited the property.[4]

G N Charrington, who had been a tenant, acquired the property in 1929, and restored the gardens by 1949.[3] In 1982, Kenneth Pritchard Jones bought the house and restored it.[3]
