Acrise Place, Manor house in Acrise, England
The brick structure of Acrise Place displays architectural elements from the 16th century with modifications made in 1671 and 1691.
Thomas and Jane Papillon purchased Acrise Place in 1666 for £6,000, and their family maintained ownership for multiple generations until 1850.
The building represents the evolution of English country estates, with its main house and stable blocks reflecting different architectural periods.
The former 18th-century stable blocks have been transformed into residential units following a restoration program initiated by the Folkestone Building Company.
During World War II, Flight Sergeant Anthony Drew nearly collided with Acrise Place while pursuing a V1 Flying Bomb in his Hawker Tempest.
