Nonsuch Mansion is a Grade II listed [Gothic revival](/wiki/Gothic_revival "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, 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. The mansion itself is a popular place for wedding receptions, as it is available for hire. In [medieval](/wiki/Medieval "Medieval") times the land upon which Nonsuch Mansion sits was part of the three thousand [acre](/wiki/Acre "Acre") [manor](/wiki/Manorialism "Manorialism") of [Cuddington](/wiki/Cuddington%2C_Surrey "Cuddington, Surrey"). The mansion was originally built in 1731–1743 by Joseph Thompson and later bought by Samuel Farmer in 1799\. He employed [Jeffry Wyattville](/wiki/Jeffry_Wyattville "Jeffry Wyattville") to rebuild it in a Tudor Gothic style in 1802–1806\. 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](/wiki/Nonsuch_Palace "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."
