Festive Fireplaces

Just the day (full of wintry sunshine) to escape the Christmas shopping queues, wrap up warm for a stroll in the park and come to visit us. You’ll not be short of ideas for dressing up a fireplace or window sill!

The Friends was set up in 2000 to raise awareness of the Mansion and its potential to the local community, and to raise funds for restoration projects. We continue supporting and enjoying this lovely place in various ways, holding fund-raising events, giving talks, and helping in the house as Volunteers.

Some of the money raised has been spent on acquiring beautiful items for the Mansion – the Victorian dining table in the Holcombe Room, and the table, chairs and mirror in the Regency Parlour. Our current project is to furnish the Raymond Room to reflect the period when Sir Charles Raymond owned Valentines, in the second half of the 18th century.

Developed and maintained by the Friends of Valentines Mansion, this site provides information about the Mansion, its history, its owners and the associated landscape and parkland. It also contains information about the restoration project, the Friends and their work and details of events being held in the Mansion and its surroundings. Please explore this site if you would like to know more. Comments and suggestions always welcome.
