Beautiful Ightham Mote dates back to 1320. It is an important building as it still has most of its original features from that time. Sadly, during a flash flood last month, many of the ground floor rooms were flooded and are still undergoing a 'drying out' programme.
@joysabin Thank you - it is such a shame - a few years ago it went through a huge restoration programme costing millions of pounds. I hope the damage was not too bad.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie and for the fav. I have read The Green Darkness - one of the rooms open to the public is the bedroom that Anya Seton stayed in!
