Wadhurst Castle, Grade II listed mansion in Wadhurst, England.

Wadhurst Castle stands on elevated ground west of Wadhurst town, featuring castellated architecture, turrets, spires, and decorative window tracery across its exterior walls.

The castle, constructed between 1818 and 1820 by James Louis West, replaced an earlier farmhouse called Maplehurst and underwent substantial remodeling by Edward Buckton Lamb in 1838.

The Victorian Winter Garden contains exotic plants and connects to interconnecting reception rooms, including the Drawing Room and Moncrieff Room with south-facing windows.

The Carriage Barn, located in a separate courtyard, accommodates 104 guests for ceremonies and receptions, while the 140-acre estate offers multiple outdoor event spaces.

During World War II, Canadian Army forces occupied the castle, and in 1933 it experienced significant fire damage before architect Alfred Matthews acquired and restored it.
