Great Tangley Manor, 1911, (1914). Artist: Jamess Ogilvy
Great Tangley Manor, 1911, (1914). Great Tangley Manor is a Grade 1 listed property. The manor is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, where it was described as a royal hunting lodge. In 1582 alterations were carried out, constructing the main wing of the property. A number of timbers from the Armada fleet were incorporated into the dining room wood panelling. In 1880 Wycham Flower bought the property and commissioned Phillip Webb to further extend the property and design the moat and gardens. During the first half of the 19th century, King George V and Queen Mary, visited the property and signed the window of the dining room. The signatures of King George VI can be seen on the dressing room windows of the master suite. From A Pilgrimage In Surrey, Vol. 1, by James S. Ogilvy. [George Routledge & Sons Limited, London, 1914]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Great Tangley Manor, a remarkable Grade 1 listed property with a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book in 1086. Originally described as a royal hunting lodge, the manor underwent significant alterations in 1582 when the main wing was constructed. An intriguing feature of this magnificent estate is its dining room wood panelling, which incorporates timbers salvaged from the Armada fleet. In 1880, Wycham Flower became the proud owner of Great Tangley Manor and enlisted renowned architect Phillip Webb to expand and enhance the property.

Over time, Great Tangley Manor has welcomed distinguished guests such as King George V and Queen Mary during their visits in the first half of the 19th century.
