The History

Great Tangley Manor has been a dwelling for more than 1,000 years. The first mention of the manor is in the Doomsday Book in 1017 where it was described as a royal hunting lodge, reputedly later King John’s.

Through the 13th & 14th centuries, according to William Morris, the lodge was inhabited as a Core Medieval Hall House.

In 1582 alterations were carried out that characterize the main part of the house today. Some of the timbers from the Armada fleet were incorporated into the design and can be seen in the dining room and in the panelling.

In 1880 Wickham Flower bought the property and commissioned Phillip Webb to further extend the House and design the moat and gardens. Early in the 19th century, after all the works had been completed, the Royal family, including King George V and Queen Mary, visited the property and signed the window of the dining room with a diamond ring. Signatures of King George VI can also be seen on the dressing room window of the master suite.

In 1976 the courtyard area was created and incorporated two additional bedrooms and a drawing room. The house was finally split into two dwellings in 1959 and has remained so ever since.

Some other notable visitors to the Manor have included John Evelyn, William Morris who may have had some input on the garden design, Lord Grantley, Edward VII, Gertrude Jekyll, George Jack who designed the music room, and also Alice Keppel.

The property was purchased by the current owners in 1997 and lovingly refurbished in 2006.
