About Us
Cromwell Manor is a magnificent 15th Century Manor House set in 23 acres of country park in Essex. The Manor, which is a listed building, benefits from bordering a 300-acre country park which, like the venue itself, is steeped in history. From 8 acres of landscaped gardens we are able to offer stunning views across the countryside, which forms the perfect backdrop to any occasion.
