Scotney Castle House

Highlight • Monument

After the Hussey family gave up the house and the last resident of the family died, the house was initially converted into 6 apartments.
Margaret Thatcher lived in one of them during her time as Prime Minister.
Here she was "easier to protect" than in London.

Now everything has been returned to the way it was before the conversion 😉

View of Scotney Castle

Highlight • Castle

On the lower part of the hill, at the moat, is Scotney Old Castle, built on an island in the 14th century. Further up the hill sits Scotney New Castle, built between 1843 and 1843 when the original property started to crumble.
The estate is now in the care of the National Trust. For further details see their website nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/scotney-castle

Little Scotney Farm Oast Houses and Hop Fields

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

The Oast Houses at Little Scotney Farm date from the late 19th century. Now owned by the National Trust, they are still used to dry the hops for Scotney Ale. The hop garden next door is a delight in July/August when the plants are in burr and then flower. The crop requires real care and attention to care for.

St Mary's Church, Lamberhurst

Highlight • Historical Site

Lamberhurst parish church is a Grade: I listed building, dedicated to Saint Mary the Blessed Virgin. The Normans built the church in the late 12th century, although extended and rebuilt it in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. In 1779, Pack and Chapman cast and hung a ring of six bells. In 1798, Edward Hasted described St Mary’s church as having a ‘spire steeple, stands on a hill at a small distance from the court-lodge’. Around 1870, the architect Ewan Christian carried out a restoration to the chancel removing the earlier fittings and reconstructing the roof in 1870
