SURREY WEDDINGS & CEREMONIES
Leatherhead Register Office
History of The Mansion The history of The Mansion is colourful and varied. The first house on the impressive site was built during the reign of Henry VIII and thought to have been rebuilt in 1710 by Alexander Akehurst. Some of its many occupants have been a Royal Falconer, a Lord Lieutenant of Surrey and during a period of notoriety, Lord Jefferys, who became known as the ‘Hanging Judge’ after the Monmouth Rebellion. As well as being a private home, it has also been used as a school, a billet for Canadian troops during World War II and latterly by Surrey County Council to house the library and other council services. In May 2000, the ground floor rooms were restored to their former glory to become a register office.
The perfect location for a sophisticated celebration in the heart of Leatherhead. The team at the Mansion would be delighted to make your ceremony dreams come true. The State Room on the ground floor reflects the building’s impressive past and is furnished in blue, cream and gold with beautiful chandeliers, creating an elegant space for the perfect ceremony. The State Room is fully air conditioned and can accommodate a maximum of 48 guests. The state room is adjoined by an enchanting conservatory complete with wrought iron ‘kissing seat’ and provides a useful space for wet weather photographs. The large grounds have a grandeur of their own with a sweeping terrace and steps leading down to lawns and walkways, providing a stunning backdrop for photographic memories. The ceremony room is fully accessible with a separate waiting area overlooking the grounds, where guests can gather to relax before the ceremony.
