Ightham Mote, Kent (21)
A moated medieval manor house, owned by the National Trust
Dating from the early 1400s, this is said to be the most coplete medieval manor in the country. It has retained its square format surrounding a central courtyard all enclosed within a surrounding moat
Most houses of the period in the more peaceful years have had parts of the square demolished to enable a more open aspect to be achieved, but not here. Other buildings have been added and altered mostly in the 16th to the 19th centuries But the integrity of Ightham Mote is still here. This is real history before your eyes.
