Albury Park Mansions was used as a filming location for the British romantic comedy film Four Weddings and a Funeral.

The wedding scene between Andie MacDowell’s and Corin Redgrave’s characters was filmed on the grounds of Albury Park Mansions in St Paul’s Church.

Albury Park also served as the location for the coronation banquet of King George III in 1761. George III is the longest-reigning male monarch in British history and was often known as ‘Mad King George’ due to his mental illness.

The historic Grade II listed mansion has had several famous owners, including architect for the Bank of England, Sir John Soane and Augustus Pugin, who designed the Houses of Parliament. Both architects made several improvements to the property including a cantilevered staircase and 63 individual candlestick chimneys.

The mansion and parklands are currently owned by the Duke of Northumberland.
