Uses of The Building
The park came into public hands in 1937. The authorities were able to throw open its doors and Nonsuch Mansion became the centre piece for celebrations for many decades. Providers and Friends carefully preserved and protected the mansion and its story. The service wing is opened by the Friends of Nonsuch on some afternoons.
Nonsuch Mansion was closed due to ownership legalities and a drawn out planning process in 2004. This confusion has been resolved and a new operator is in place.
After careful refurbishment during summer 2009, the mansion is now open to the public as an event venue.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love.... It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigour of the earlier world?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
