Listed Building record TR 03 NE 166 - COURT LODGE FARMHOUSE

Summary

Grade II* listed building. Main construction periods 1300 to 1999. A modern house stands on the site of the Courthouse or Palace of Aldington and only the outlines of three or four Gothic windows remain of the former mansion. The manor of Aldington belonged from early times to the See of Canterbury. The palace was enlarged and renovated by Archbishop Morton (1486-1500) who maintained it and the extensive park attached to it. (See TR 03 NE 29) The house, park and Chase were bought and extended by Henry VII in 1540. A Royal Survey of the palace was made in 1608, from which date it seems to have fallen into decay.
