Listed Building record TQ 56 SW 155 - LULLINGSTONE CASTLE

Summary

Grade II* listed building. Main construction periods 1543 to 1899. Built between 1543 and 1580, remodelled in the 18th century and further altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. Renamed Lullingstone Castle in the 18th century, the house is three storeyed and brick-built with a tiled roof. Some 16th century work is visible in the north and east fronts. The Tudor house was surrounded by a moat and was approached via two gatehouses. The inner gatehouse was demolished in the mid 18th century, but the outer gatehouse survives (TQ 56 SW 58). A documentary source of the 1690s depicts an embattled wall around the moat, which has since been filled in.
