Sutton Place, Surrey

Sutton Place, Surrey

Sutton Place in Surrey is a Grade I listed Tudor manor house built in 1530 for Sir Richard Weston. The estate has had a run of famous owners including Jean Paul Getty who spent the last 25 years of his life there. Its current owner is Alisher Usmanov.

Sutton Place appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as "Sudtone". It was held by Robert Malet. Its domesday assets were: 3 hides; 1 mill worth 5s, 3 ploughs, 20 acres of meadow, woodland worth 25 hogs. It rendered £5. [ [http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm Surrey Domesday Book] ]

Within Sutton Place is the blood stained ruff of St Thomas More and a crystal pomegranate that once belonged to Catherine of Aragon. The estate comprises 21 properties including the 18 bedroom (largely derelict) Ladygrove Farmhouse and two splendid gatekeepers cottages which flank the main gates.

The farmhouse is currently being redeveloped into luxury housing.
