Britain's What's On Event Guide
Walmer Court Medieval Manor House
Heritage Open Day: Discover the substantial and well maintained remains of this 12th century medieval moated manor house, which is not normally open to the public. It adjoins the church of Blessed Mary of Walmer which dates from the same period and they are set in a peaceful location.
The medieval manor house, known as Walmer Court, was built in the 12th century and is constructed of flint with Caen stone dressings. It is broadly rectangular in plan and about 16.5m long by 15m wide. The manor house is now roofless but the walls survive to second storey level and are up to 8m high and 1.2 to 1.4m thick. The manor house was fortified with turrets or towers at the angles, three of which survive.
