‘ No matter how many times you come to
Moggerhanger, you will never fail to be
inspired by its grace. As you catch your first
glimpse, the impact of grandeur is immediate,
but the elegance of its symmetry and beauty of
its setting emerges as Soane’s vision unfolds.’
MOGGERHANGER PARK
Moggerhanger Park is a unique country
house estate set on the top of the
Greensand Ridge, with sweeping views
across the Ivel Valley in Bedfordshire. In the
middle of nowhere, yet close to everywhere.
This elegant Grade I historic house was
designed by Sir John Soane in 1792, to be
the country home for the Governor of the
Bank of England, Godfrey Thornton. The
house sits gracefully in natural parkland
originally landscaped by Humphry Repton.
The house and grounds have now been
restored to their original state and we
warmly welcome you to create the wedding
of your dreams and be part of its future.

ROMANTIC SECLUDED SETTING
Moggerhanger Park combines grandness
with intimacy. It is the perfect size for
your Country House wedding, since it
offers all the beauty and stature of grand
architecture, with a house which you can
truly feel is yours for the day.

AMAZING ARCHITECTURE
Sir John Soane used space and light
uniquely, to create a relaxed and graceful
atmosphere. From the moment you enter
the house, you see his beautiful design
unfold. The sweeping staircase, elegantly
arched windows and unusual oculus create
stunning backdrops for your photographs.

Greensand Ridge, with views across the
Ivel valley.
