Surrey Homes | SH110 | March 2024 | Kitchen & Bathroom Supplement inside

visit this Easter to discover the
ancient manor house. See all
the principal rooms at your
own pace and chat to expert
guides about the history of
the site. The building dates
as far back as 1425 – Henry
VIII dined in their Stone Hall
and Guy Fawkes might have
worked as a footman, so there
are plenty of stories to uncover.
There will be an additional
craft room for children and
a garden trail. This was also
the location for the fabulous
BBC Ghosts series so there
will be fun activities for fans!
