Sackville College

Sackville College is a Jacobean almshouse in town of East Grinstead, West Sussex, England.

This may have been an imitation of Emanuel College, Westminster, founded by his aunt, Anne Fiennes, Lady Dacre.

The building of the almshouse known as 'Sackville College for the Poor' at East Grinstead was commenced about 1616 by the executors, his brother-in-law, Lord William Howard, and Sir George Rivers of Chafford.

[1] Most of the Sackville lands were soon alienated by the founder's son, and the buyers refused to acknowledge the estate's liability to the college.

The College continues to receive patronage from William Sackville, 11th Earl De La Warr.

The College is run by a warden, who lives in part of the building that was originally used by the Sackville family on visits to their Sussex estates.
