Grade II* listed building. Main construction periods 1525 to 1999. Cobbs Hall, was built for Thomas Cobb, shortly before his death in 1528. It is of unusual interest purely 16th century in style of a very new design design. The fine front of close-studded timbers, and a continuous jetty has been much restored. The roof, also of a new design, was built to fit the chimney. The present roof has been much rebuilt. By tradition this is the house where, about 1525, Elizabeth Barton, called the Holy Maid of Kent, worked as a maid servant in the household of Thomas Cobb, Steward for Aldington Manor to Archbishop Warham. She was a prophetess who later occupied the Chapel of Bellerica at Court-at-Street in the adjoining Parish of Lympne, (Elham Rural District) and was executed in 1533 for prophesying that Henry VIII would only survive his marriage to Anne Boleyn by one month. At the back a stone wall with slit windows, for muskets and on the ground floor fo a cannon. Thought to be for Napoleonic defences, but could be a Watch House for the Preventitive Service as there ids a date on one opening for 1817.
