THE HOUSE
DISCOVERING THE HISTORYWelcome to Loseley Park
The story of Loseley Park begins with the purchase of the Manor of Loseley during the reign of Henry VII. As Sheriff of Surrey and Sussex the purchaser, Sir Christopher More, was a man of considerable influence and power, yet it was his son, Sir William More, also a direct ancestor of the current owner, who first began building work in earnest.
Loseley House, Loseley Gardens and the White Garden Café are now open for the season.
We’re delighted to welcome visitors back to enjoy the House, gardens and café. We are open Sunday to Thursday only throughout the season.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Please note we are a private family home and are only open on specific days
The Rooms
Loseley House is a private family home and has been for over 400 years, which echoes through every room. In the Great Hall, small domestic details of day-to-day life sit happily next to great moments in history – George IV’s coronation chair, panels painted for Henry VIII’s banqueting tents and work by Grinling Gibbons, England’s finest ever woodcarver. The blend of the simple and the significant is there wherever you look.
The Rooms
The ceiling in the Drawing Room was commissioned for a visit by James I. The monumental clunch fireplace is to a design by Hombein and the cushions on the maid of honour chairs are reputed to have been worked by Queen Elizabeth I. Any visit to Loseley Park is a reminder that history is about people and the details of their lives they leave behind – at Loseley Park that process continues still.
Our ARt Collection
.The numerous More-Molyneux family portraits tell the most intimate and compelling stories. An almost complete history of the family is documented through art, Sir William More onward represented, with small intimate details of everyday life
The Rooms
Nothing about the rooms or furniture at Loseley is staged, for every table, every chair, every cabinet, was originally here as working pieces of furniture – and so remain preserved in the domestic setting the original designers and craftsmen intended.
