HER 1293 - Burstow Lodge (now Burstow Manor), 14th century and later homestead moat
Burstow Lodge, a timber house of two storeys built on a moated site in the early 14th century with two-bay open hall, two-storey cross wing and lower end. A chimney and floor were inserted in the hall circa 1600 and the house was refronted and enlarged in the 19th century. Classed as a building of outstanding importance. The enclosing rectangular homestead moat is waterfilled and in good condition. The name suggests it was the lodge of the ancient deer park of Burstow, belonging to the Archbishop of Canterbury, no traces of which were found during fieldwork.
