The former residence of the Bishops of Winchester and Guildford, Farnham Castle dates from Norman times and is now the International Briefing & Conference Centre. The chapel, great hall, 1st floor hall and kitchen were built in 12/13thC and an early Tudor brick tower was later added, followed by an Elizabethan wing. The Halls were re-designed and a new chapel and staircase with Grinling Gibbons carvings were built during a period of restoration.
