Firle Place is a country house probably built by Sir John Cage in the early 16th century, however part of it may date to the late 15th century. The present exterior almost wholly dates to the 18th century, as it was remodelled between 1744 and 1754 by Thomas Gage, 1st Viscount Gage and the eastern part of the house was added between 1754 and 1783 by William Gage, 2nd Viscount Gage. (PastScape)
The exterior of this mansion dates almost wholly from the C18. But the western half was built in the early C16, probably by Sir John Gage who was Constable of the Tower in Henry VIII's reign (d 1557). Part may even date from the late C15. Its exterior was then georgianised by the first Viscount Gage between 1744 and 1754. (Listed Building Report)
