Earl of Sussex is a title that has been created several times in the Peerages of England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom. The early Earls of Arundel (up to 1243) were often also called Earls of Sussex. The fifth creation came in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1717 in favour of Talbot Yelverton, 2nd Viscount Longueville.
It is believed that sometime after 1688 Thomas Lennard, 1st Earl of Sussex, began to lay out formal gardens round an ornamental canal to the south of the house. General James Stanhope, 1st Earl Stanhope, who bought the estate from Lord Sussex’s heirs in 1717, continued within this design.
On his death in 1715 the Earldom of Sussex became extinct and the Barony of Dacre fell into abeyance between his two daughters, Lady Barbara Skelton and Lady Anne Lennard. On the death in 1741 of the elder daughter without issue the barony devolved upon her younger sister.
