The Chelmsford Club - Staplegrove Tours
108 New London Road, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 0RG
Staplegrove was built as a 9-bedroom mansion with servant’s quarters, a coach house and stables, in its own estate in the centre of Chelmsford… bought in secret!! How? By whom? And more importantly why?
Role the clock back to Victorian England. Chelmsford had been controlled by the Mildmay family for 300 years after they had been granted ownership by Queen Elizabeth I.
In the 1830s, a large piece of the Mildmay estate was released for sale and bought, in secret, by a company of 5 prominent Chelmsford business men. Why in secret?
Your visit will include a tour of the building and grounds, and the secret revealed.
Visitors for the tour will be met at the front door. Parking is available in nearby George Street car park. There is a large sign saying The Chelmsford Club by the entrance, at the corner of New Writtle Street and New London Road.
