The Monkey Sanctuary was founded in 1964 by Len Williams, father of classical guitarist John Williams,[3][4] as a cooperative to care for rescued woolly monkeys. Based in Looe, Cornwall, England, it was home to woolly monkeys descended from the original residents, a growing number of capuchin monkeys rescued from the British pet trade,[2] many marmosets, and a small group of rescued macaques.[5]
A colony of rare lesser horseshoe bats live in the cellar of Murrayton House, a 19th-century building that is staff offices and accommodation for staff and volunteers.
The Monkey Sanctuary is the flagship project of Wild Futures (UK registered Charity number 1102532).[6][7]
In 2025, the Sanctuary site Murrayton House was placed up for sale citing growing financial pressure. [1]
