===Nonsuch Mansion=== {{main|Nonsuch Mansion}} [[File:Nonsuch mansion.jpg|thumb|Historic view of Nonsuch Mansion]] Nonsuch Mansion is a Grade II listed [[Gothic revival]] mansion within Nonsuch Park. The Service Wing Museum is open to the public during the summer on Sundays. It is run by the Friends of Nonsuch,<ref>{{cite web |title=Friends Of Nonsuch |url=http://www.friendsofnonsuch.co.uk |access-date=2 April 2023 |website=Friends of Nonsuch}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=July 2023}} which charitable organisation also commissioned the largest model of Nonsuch Palace available. The model was created by designer Ben Taggart and can be seen throughout the year on Sundays.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 November 2009 |title=A Tudor "Gem": Nonsuch Palace |url=http://theesotericcuriosa.blogspot.com/2009/11/tudor-gem-nonsuch-palace.html |access-date=2023-04-02 |website=The Esoteric Curiosa |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-03-31 |title=Nonsuch Palace {{!}} Model Houses |url=https://www.modelhouses.co.uk/portfolio-item/nonsuch-palace/ |access-date=2023-04-02 |website=Ben Taggart: Modelmaking and Design |language=en-GB}}</ref> The mansion itself is a popular place for wedding receptions, as it is available for hire. In [[medieval]] times the land upon which Nonsuch Mansion sits was part of the three thousand [[acre]] [[manorialism|manor]] of [[Cuddington, Surrey|Cuddington]]. The mansion was originally built in 1731β1743 by Joseph Thompson and later bought by Samuel Farmer in 1799. He employed [[Jeffry Wyattville]] to rebuild it in a Tudor Gothic style in 1802β1806. Farmer was succeeded by his grandson in 1838 under whom the gardens became famous. Nonsuch Mansion bears a resemblance to the original design of [[Nonsuch Palace]], whose construction was begun by King Henry VIII in the 16th century. Built within the north porch of the mansion is a block from the original Nonsuch Palace that bears an inscription which means "1543 Henry VIII in the 35th year of His reign."
