Adjacent to the mansion is a café called the Nonsuch Pantry Café which is the perfect place to have a cup of tea and something to eat after lounging on the lawns of the park.

Henry VIII palace

King Henry VIII began building Nonsuch Palace during October of 1537 and was near completion by January of 1541. When Henry VIII died in 1547, the building still hadn’t been completed and it was at this time that the palace build was taken over by an Earl. In 1592, the palace was taken back by the Royal Family until 1670 when Charles II gave it to his mistress, Barbara Villiers, who eventually became the Baroness of Nonsuch, Duchess of Cleveland. She had the palace demolished in 1682/83 to offset her debts and in 1959 the site was excavated with only small remnants of the palace remain today. It’s a wonderful site to visit for those that enjoy taking a look back at history.
