Valentines Mansion & Gardens, Ilford, Redbridge, London, UK - History
http://www.valentinesmansion.com/history.php
Valentines Mansion is more than 300 years old. The house was built in around 1696 for Elizabeth Tillotson and her family, after the death of her husband, the Archbishop of Canterbury. At that time the new brick house stood in open countryside, several miles from the edge of London. Valentines has changed hands many times since then. City merchant and banker Robert Surman bought the estate in 1720s and created the walled gardens, dovecote and grottoes. For the latest news and updates follow us on Twitter.
