Wanborough Manor
Wanborough Manor is an Elizabethan manor house on the Hog's Back located in Wanborough near Guildford, Surrey. During World War II the manor house was requisitioned by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to train secret agents and was known as Special Training School 5 (there were six in total across the UK).〔(The wartime role of country houses )〕 The manor is a now private residence and is not open to the public.
==History==
The manor dates back to the 16th century, but was considerably extended during the 17th century by Thomas Dalmahoy, MP for Guildford. Through his marriage to the widowed Duchess of Hamilton he owned the manor and the Friary Estate in Guildford.
Sir Algernon West, principle private secretary to prime minister William Gladstone, lived in the manor house in the 19th century and was visited by Queen Victoria, who planted a tree in the grounds. Sir Algernon was also responsible for the building of the nearby Wanborough railway station.
The manor has been visited by Otto von Bismarck and Gladstone held cabinet meetings here whilst in his second period of Prime Minister. The Liberal H. H. Asquith leased the manor house until he became prime minister (1908–1916).
