Ightham Mote, Medieval manor house in Ightham, England.
The Ightham Mote estate encompasses a series of buildings arranged around a central courtyard, completely surrounded by a water-filled moat dating from the 14th century.
Sir Thomas Cawne, who fought alongside Edward the Black Prince in France during the 1360s, was the first documented owner of this medieval residence.
The estate became a center for artists and writers of the Aesthetic Movement when American railway industrialist William Jackson Palmer rented the property in the 19th century.
The National Trust maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore the house interior, gardens, and surrounding grounds throughout the main tourism season.
The residence contains two separate chapels, including the New Chapel from 1520, which features a barrel roof decorated with Tudor rose ornamentation.
