Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Wednesday, 20 December 2017 is Cain Manor.
Cain Manor is an Elizabethan manor house built in the 16th century in Surrey, England. The building was owned by a man named Cane who was excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church. He originally named the manor house 'The Land of Nod' in reference to the biblical story of Cain's banishment. Cain Manor is fitted with cathedral windows and was built with wood believed to be recycled from ship timbers dating before the Elizabethan era. Today, the building is owned by the company Bijou Wedding Venues and is used to host weddings and other events.
