SURREY WEDDINGS & CEREMONIES
The Mansion Leatherhead Register Office
History of The Mansion The history of The Mansion is colourful and varied. The first house on the site was built during the reign of Henry VIII and is thought to have been rebuilt in 1710 by Alexander Akehurst. Over the centuries, The Mansion has been home to a number of notable occupants, including a Royal Falconer, a Lord Lieutenant of Surrey and Lord Jeffreys, who became known as the “Hanging Judge” following the Monmouth Rebellion. As well as serving as a private residence, the building has been used as a school, accommodation for Canadian troops during the Second World War and later as a home for Surrey County Council services. In May 2000, the ground floor rooms were restored and became the register office that welcomes couples today.

The Mansion offers a wonderfully classical setting for marriage or civil partnership ceremonies in the heart of Leatherhead. Combining historic character with beautiful surroundings, this magnificent venue provides a wonderful backdrop to celebrate one of life’s most memorable days. The State Room reflects the building’s impressive past and is decorated in blue, cream and gold, with elegant drapes and chandeliers, creating a refined ceremony setting. Fully air conditioned, the room can comfortably accommodate up to 58 guests (plus the couple) and offers a timeless space in which to celebrate. Should our couples prefer to keep the guest list to their nearest and dearest then the Tylney Room can provide the couple with a wonderfully light, bright and pretty ceremony room for them to celebrate with up to 18 of their guests. Both rooms overlook the grounds which feature a sweeping terrace, grand steps for fabulous confetti shots as well as lawns and hidden walkways and secret posing seats for two. Guests can gather before the ceremony in the large waiting area until our friendly Registrars will show them to their seats. There is plenty of free on-site parking available.
