Our visit to Ightham Mote in Kent

A tour around the house and grounds of Ightam Mote in Kent. This 14th-century National Trust manor house, surrounded by a moat is part of our Historic England series of videos. 🔗    • Historic England  

Our tour will take you around the grounds, with its picnic areas, lakes and various gardens of this historic home in Kent. Its history dates to around 1340 and has adapted over the years. The tour of the house starts with the 1950's library of the last public owner, Charles Henry Robinson, of Portland, Maine, featuring a picture of Ightham Mote by Sir Winston Churchill. A walk through the Grand Hall takes to back to the Tudor & Stuart periods of English history, and the rest of the home explores Ightham's passage through time.

A final look around the grounds & gardens before taking a closer look at the mote, or moat, surrounding this charming country home set in the Kent countryside
