Wanborough Manor, Manor house in Wanborough, Surrey, England
The Elizabethan manor house sits near the Hog's Back ridge, featuring traditional architectural elements and extensions from the 17th century modifications.
During World War II, from 1941 to 1943, the manor served as Special Training School 5 for the Special Operations Executive, preparing agents for missions in France.
Queen Victoria visited the estate during Sir Algernon West's residency and planted a tree, marking the manor's connection to British royal heritage.
The manor house has been converted into multiple residential apartments, maintaining the external historical structure while adapting to modern living requirements.
A commemorative plaque in Wanborough Church honors the agents who trained at the manor and lost their lives during World War II operations.
