Ightham Moat *

            Located near Sevenoaks in Kent, Ightham Moat is a medieval manor house dating from circa 1320. It consists of 70 rooms built around a central courtyard with an outer moat. The architect is unknown but the first recorded owner was Sir Thomas Cawne who resided there in the middle of the 14th century. The house has been owned by several different families over subsequent centuries. 

The last owner, Charles Henry Robinson of Maine, USA, purchased it in 1953 having known it from being stationed nearby during the Second World War. He lived there for only 14 weeks a year for tax reasons but made many urgent repairs. In 1965 he gave Ightham Mote and its contents to the National Trust who still maintain the property to the present day. In 1989 the National Trust commenced a 15 year conservation project costing 10 million pounds.

In 1952 the house was listed as a grade 1 property and is therefore legally protected from alteration or demolition without prior approval from the local authority.
