Ightham Mote by busylady

Ightham Mote

Pronounced 'item moat' this medieval moated manor house in Kent dates from around 1320. Also owned by the National Trust and beautifully preserved.
Nice composition. Looks an interesting place.

Think it would pay to belong to the National Trust! So many beautiful houses to visit!

Lovely building! I imagine you get a tour of the inside too? Nice.

@jamibann Well not exactly but there's a guide in every room and they're most happy tell you stories if you ask

@sarah19 We did hear some fascinating stories from the guides.
One about a period snooker table which had been given to the trust and another about a fabulous painting by John Singer Sergeant

I thought this was a church before I read your information. Such an interesting building and the gardens looks very pretty and neat too.

@maggiemae Yes we do belong to the NT and try to visit properties in other parts of the country when we go travelling.
