Titsey Place, Manor house museum in Surrey, England
Titsey Place is an English country house with Georgian architecture situated on the North Downs in Surrey. The estate includes formal gardens, landscaped ponds, a walled kitchen garden, and surrounding parkland with mature trees.
The estate was established in the 16th century when Sir John Gresham built a Tudor house, which was later rebuilt in the 18th century in Georgian style. The building underwent significant modifications in 1826 to reflect changing architectural preferences.
The entrance displays family portraits by renowned artists Reynolds and Lely, while the dining room features paintings by Canaletto. These collections show the wealth and artistic taste of the residents who lived here.
The house is open to visitors from May through September on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk through gardens and parkland on sloping terrain.
The estate maintains a herd of pedigree Sussex cattle that graze freely across the parkland, keeping alive agricultural practices from earlier centuries. These animals are part of the daily landscape and show how the property operates as a working farm.
