Valentines Mansion is situated within Valentines Park in Ilford, Redbridge. It was built in 1696〔A Potted History of Ilford 1997 Norman Gunby ISBN 0-9515832-2-0〕 for Lady Tillotson, the widow of the Archbishop of Canterbury,〔Ilford Past and Present 1901 George E Tasker. Republished by Redbridge Libraries in 1992 as ISBN 0-901616-05-2〕 and remained a family house until Sarah Ingleby, its last inhabitant, died on 3 January 1906. It became the property of Ilford Borough Council in 1912〔http://hidden-london.com/gazetteer/valentines-park/〕 and was used as council offices until 1994. It is owned by the London Borough of Redbridge and operated by Vision (Redbridge Culture and Leisure) Ltd, a local charitable Trust, on behalf of the Council.
