West Horsley Place, Medieval manor house in West Horsley, England.
West Horsley Place is a manor house from the 15th century in West Horsley, England, constructed from brick with a mid-17th-century facade. The building contains around 50 rooms and displays ornately decorated gable ends that complement the original timber frame.
The estate originated in the 15th century as a timber-framed structure and received its current brick facade in the 17th century. The Queen visited the residence in August 1559 and watched the activities of her courtiers from a window.
The estate takes its name from the village where it has stood for centuries and now serves as a venue for concerts and exhibitions. Visitors experience the rooms not only as a historical backdrop but also as a living space for music and art.
Guided tours take place on weekends and allow visitors to see the interior rooms and garden areas. The guides explain the architectural details and provide background information about the building history.
The grounds contain eight listed outbuildings, including two dog kennels from the mid-19th century. These structures offer insight into the former hunting traditions and animal husbandry on the estate.
