Valentines Mansion has many personal, historic and architectural stories to tell - use this page as the starting point for exploring the Mansion, the lives of the people who've lived in the house, finding out more about the 2007 - 2008 restoration project and some of the events and objects associated with it.
The London Borough of Redbridge have produced a 19-page guide to the house and park and their history and we are very pleased that they have allowed us to distribute this via our website.
