The substantial building of the Leatherhead Institute is held in Trust by five Trustees. Factually, Leatherhead is a modern version of the old name for Letherhead and our Trust Deed refers to the building as the Letherhead Institute. It is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with registered number 1185057.
