Clandon Park is located
at the foot of the Surrey hills. Clandon Park is one of the country’s
most complete examples of a Palladian mansion, built by a Venetian
architect for the Onslow family in the 1720s. The magnificent
interiors are faithful to the period, featuring original plaster
ceilings, the most impressive of which is in the breathtaking Marble
Hall. Since then the estate has been passed down through generations
of Onslows.
Today the house at Clandon Park contains a superb collection of
18th-century furniture, porcelain and textiles, much of which was
acquired by the remarkable connoisseur Mrs Gubbay.
