A Breif History
The mansion lies within Nonsuch Park - in medievel times, a part of the formerly three thousand acre Manor of Cuddington. The elegant Nonsuch Mansion, Built in Elizabethan style, with its octangonal towers and embattled parapets, was built by Samual Gamul Farmer between 1802 and 1806
Nonsuch Mansion is described as a "modern echo" of Nonsuch Palace, and bears significant resemblance to the long destoryed Royal Palace known as "nonnesuche", which was begun by King Henry VIII in the 16th Century. Henry's intention was to create an edifice so wondrous a design and proportion that there would be "no other such" in the entire kingdom
Built into the fabric of the North Porch (behind the bar area) is an ancient block of stone from the original palace of Nonsuch
