Events

Whether you are planning a Dog Show, Car Meet, Carvan Rally or Charity Run, our Country Park offers ample space to accommodate your event. With nearly 12 acres adjacent to the River Thames, this location provides a fantastic setting for any gathering. We can also provide the lawns at the front of the house, the dining room for small intimate gatherings as well as the Watermill and Old Manor.

Tours

We offer pre-booked tours of the house, featuring many historical paintings and hidden priest holes. The grounds boast two beautiful magnolia trees, reputed to be the oldest pair in England. The tour also includes the watermill, which is featured in the film “The Eagle Has Landed” and appears on the cover of Black Sabbath’s debut album.
