Clandon Park Description

Clandon Park (3mi/5km east of Guildford) is the Jacobean seat of the Onslow family, with a mansion which was redesigned in the Palladian style in 1713-1729 by Giacomo Leoni. There are richly decorated carpets and stucco ceilings, elaborately crafted furniture and tapestries, and a notable collection of Chinese porcelain birds (17th/18th century). In the gardens, which were laid out by "Capability" Brown around 1770, there is an Ionian temple (1833) and the "Maori House", which was brought home from New Zealand by a member of the Onslow family who was once a governor there.
