Kentwell - a very different experience: a romantic, completely moated, mellow redbrick Tudor mansion in a tranquil parkland setting - but so much more.
A 30+ years Restoration Project
In 1970 Kentwell stood neglected. No-one was prepared to take it on - except Patrick Phillips. He fell for this wonderful House in its magical setting and was not deterred by its condition. Ever since then he has, with his wife and family, sought to bring Kentwell back to life. Their works have taken part of the House and its 15th Century Service Building back to the 16th Century. Elsewhere changes reflect their own preferences. House, Gardens & Farm have an unrivalled ability to captivate the visitor.
Take a glimpse into both the past and present of this unique House. Enjoy its delightful Gardens. You can do this whenever you come but especially if you visit during one of the award-winning Re-Creations of Tudor or WWII Everyday Life and (recently) Victorian life. Kentwell pioneered Tudor domestic Living History Events in the UK, and nearly 30 years on the Re-Creations are as magical as ever.
We went for a long walk (Bayston Hill - Hookagate - Hanwood - Whitley Grange - Hookagate (lunch!) - Bayston Hill today. Unfortunately my camera battery ran out after I tried to take one photograph and my spare was dead. I was determined to take at least one so I borrowed Julian's for this.
Not sure whether it is a window or a door - it was in an old garden wall in Church Lane, Hanwood.

In 1897, a retired military man, Major Pawley, acquired the site. He built eight redbrick townhouses at great cost, and the highest of architectural standards. These are the buildings that make up the two Taj hotels today, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences, and St. James’ Court A Taj Hotel.
London’s royal, cultural, political and social elite favored the location within walking distance of the Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, St James Palace, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral.
