Fetcham Park House is an important Queen
Anne mansion, having been in existence for over 300 years. The building
is believed to be one of only two that remain combining the work
of the architect William Talman and the artist Louis Laguerre.
Originally commissioned by Henry Vincent,
with building work starting in 1699, Fetcham Park House was sold
to an MP, Arthur Moore, in 1705, who invested a fortune on the house
and the grounds, shown in the extensive stairway murals and ceiling
paintings by Laguerre.
The house passed though a number of different
owners in the next 200 years, until it was turned into a boys' school
in 1926. This remained its function until 1965, when the founder
died. The building remained vacant until 1979, when United Trading
Goup, a multi-national conglomerate, invested £4,000,000 in
returning the property to its former splendour, sensitively restoring
the artwork of Laguerre.
Now owned by The Wilky Group, Fetcham
Park House is still essentially the same on the outside and retains
its unique character, but is equipped with the state-of-the-art
technology that modern companies demand.
