Visitors will have the opportunity to view examples of the following in the estate office at Eridge Park; The John Robinson papers (1770 - 1782), The Abergavenny Family Plate (17th Century) along with a longcase clock and a 16th Century Psalter.

The Robinson Papers cover the career of John Robinson, joint but Senior Secretary to the Treasury from 1770 - 1782. Acting also as a parliamentary whip , Robinson wielded great political influence and insight, further aided by the favour of George III.
The pieces of Nevill family plate on show includes work by Paul de Lamerie (1688 - 1751) and David Willaume (1658 - 1740).
The Eridge Clock is a month-going long-case clock circa 1705 by Thomas Tompion.
The Nevill Psalterium Jhesu is an illuminated manuscript dating from the turn of the 16th century. It comprises a Book of Hours (Latin) and the Jesus Psalter and other texts in Middle English.

The Estate Office is a working office rather than an archive and the Nevill family papers are held at one of three County Record Offices: Sussex, Kent and Gwent. However we do have a few interesting items e.g. 19th Century Scrapbooks, some photographs and letters.
