'Great Tangley Manor', 1911, (1914). Great Tangley Manor is a Grade 1 listed property. The manor is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, where it was described as a royal hunting lodge. In 1582 alterations were carried out, constructing the main wing of the property. A number of timbers from the Armada fleet were incorporated into the dining room wood panelling. In 1880 Wycham Flower bought the property and commissioned Phillip Webb to further extend the property and design the moat and gardens. During the first half of the 19th century, King George V and Queen Mary, visited the property and signed the window of the dining room. The signatures of King George VI can be seen on the dressing room windows of the master suite. From A Pilgrimage In Surrey, Vol. 1, by James S. Ogilvy. [George Routledge & Sons Limited, London, 1914]
