This 18th century house in Mickleham has been used as a field study centre since 1947. During the build up to the Normandy landings it was occupied by the Canadian Army. At the time of the French revolution it was leased by French noblemen who had fled to England. The event taking place in the grounds is the biennial Garden Festival held by the Surrey Branch of Butterfly Conservation.
