Chilham Castle, Manor house and castle in Chilham, England
The hexagonal Jacobean manor house features battlemented parapets, brick chimneys, and corner towers with squared ogee cappings adjacent to a Norman keep.
The Norman keep, dating from 1174, stands on foundations of an Anglo-Saxon fortification from the seventh century discovered during archaeological excavations in 1920.
In 1965, the castle provided filming locations for The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders with Kim Novak, Leo McKern, and Angela Lansbury.
The estate encompasses 300 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland, offering views across the Stour Valley through gardens designed by Capability Brown.
The Norman keep remains inhabited since its construction in 1174, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied residences in Great Britain.
