Full Description
(TR 04294825) Buckwell Farm (NAT) (1) Buckwell Farmhouse, Boughton Aluph, is a timber framed building with a Norman cellar but refaced with red brick in the 17th c. There is a dried up moat and the watercress bed is the old fish pond. (2,3) Buckwell Farmhouse as described above except that the cellars show no Norman work and appear to be contemporary with the rest of the structure. The building is of little architectural interest. The moat centred at TR 04254825, is dry; the E arm is destroyed, otherwise it is in fair condition. Surveyed at 1:2500. There is no evidence to show that the watercress beds occupy the site of a fishpond. (4) TR 043482. Buckwell Farm. Listed in the county checklist of moated sites in Kent - December 1979.
