Nonsuch Mansion

Nonsuch Mansion about 1890.

It is probably on the site of the Keepers Lodge which stood in Little Park which was attached to Henry VIII's Palace of Nonsuch. Parts of the present mansion date from the 18th century but the greater part, including the south front and the state rooms, were built 1802 - 6 for Samuel Farmer. The architect was Jeffey Wyatt (later Sir Jeffery Wyattville) who also worked on Windsor Castle.

The Friends of Nonsuch open the Service Wing of the Mansion including the kitchen, larders, sculleries and laundries and an exhibition of rare English hand painted and antique European stained glass. The opening times are 2pm - 5pm on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month from April to September plus Bank Holidays in May and August. Admission £1.50 adults, 50p children. Senior citizens £1. Friends of Nonsuch 50p. The Mansion is nearest to the Cheam Gate to the park where there is a car park.
