Wanborough Manor, Manor house in Wanborough, Surrey, England
Wanborough Manor is an Elizabethan manor house located near the Hog's Back ridge, featuring traditional architectural elements with extensions added during the 17th century. The building has since been converted into residential apartments while preserving its historical exterior.
The estate originated during the Elizabethan period and received extensions in the 17th century. During World War II, it served as a training facility for secret agents between 1941 and 1943.
The name reflects its royal connection, stemming from Queen Victoria's visit when she planted a tree on the grounds, linking the manor to British royal moments.
The property is now divided into private apartments and not open to visitors for interior access. A nearby church contains a commemorative plaque with information about its wartime role.
A commemorative plaque in the neighboring Wanborough Church honors agents who trained at the manor and died during operations in France. This quiet memorial captures an overlooked chapter of wartime history.
