About Alliblasters “Alliblaster” - A strange and unusual name. We thought so when we moved here so we set out to find out exactly what it means.
We thought that originally it was called Alabaster House (like the type of marble) and that at some point in its history the name had been corrupted due to local dialect.
This is not the case. Some investigation reveals that the word “Alliblaster” and the house’s original name is in fact an old French term for a crossbowman.
The site of this house has been lived on from the time of the Norman invasion and its final name seems to have stemmed from William Le Alblaster (1279).
The view from the garden is also uninterrupted to the South Downs (some 14 miles as the crow flies) and the Chanctonbury ring (a circular Roman hill fort now covered in trees) giving speculation that it was used as a semaphore post in Roman times. This is backed up with the discovery of a Fosse, or earth moat, in the field opposite.
The modern house you see today was built around the mid 1800s and can lay claim to one or two unique features. Firstly, it was one of the first houses in the country to have a form of central heating. This was steam powered and the water was taken from a deep well which is still outside the back door.
The second unusual feature was that it had an enclosed squash court with a glass roof. It was to the right of the house from the front elevation and was converted in the 1970s by the last owner Mrs Aitcheson, who ran the house as a retirement home until 1999.
Another curious fact about the house is that in the woods across the field lies a Pagan altar stone.
We purchased the house in 2000 and set about a lengthy and still ongoing restoration project. Being fortunate enough to occupy such a fabulous country house is an honour and we are constantly reinvesting in the maintenance and refurbishment of the property so that it will be here for another 200 years!
