Penshurst Place, Medieval manor house in Penshurst, England.

The fortified estate centers around a grand Baron's Hall with a 60-foot chestnut-beamed ceiling and stone walls from the 14th century.

King Edward VI granted the property to Sir William Sidney in 1552, establishing a family ownership that continues through present generations.

The staterooms contain an extensive collection of portraits, furniture, and tapestries depicting the evolution of English noble households through centuries.

Visitors can access both the house and its formal gardens through combined admission tickets, with guided tours available from March through October.

The Sidney Oak tree, which stood on the grounds for over 1000 years until 2016, remains commemorated with a memorial plaque.
