About US
The Guest
House is a 15th century oak timbered building, which was bequeathed
to Surrey County Council in 1954 for public use and became home to the Lingfield
Library Centre a year later. So named because it was originally used for
visitors to the nearby (monastic) College of Lingfield, the Guest House was
restored in 1898 and retains many of the original features. Particularly
noteworthy is the Hall, which forms the centre of the building and opens to the
roof.
The Guest
House contains a collection of artistic and antiquarian objects including four
tapestries, thought to be Flemish in origin, which hang in the Hall. It also
houses the Hayward Memorial Local History Centre.
At the back
of the building is a conservatory opening onto gardens, which are also open to
the public.
