About the Valentines Mansion
The house was built in around 1696 for Elizabeth Tillotson and her family, after the death of her husband, the Archbishop of Canterbury.At that time the new brick house stood in open countryside, several miles from the edge of London.
Restored a few years ago, it's now a local history museum and houses a number of themed rooms.
Guided tours are also available.
