Bonner for Grose's Antiquities of England and Wales from a view taken Grose in 1759. Very good condition Notes: The Blakes were responsible for the brick extensions and continued to hold it until the 18th century. A succession of owners followed and as the fortunes of the estate declined parts were sold off until the residue was sold to the City of Rochester in the 1930s. At this stage it was well cared for and surrounded by a fine garden. Locally there was a debate over its future, the council planned to use the surrounding site for industrial development.[4] Having no obvious use for the house, a committee was formed to preserve it. The Second World War interrupted plans, and by in 1947 the site was recognised and scheduled. However neglect and vandalism had taken their toll; the barn had fallen down and the roof collapsed. In 1950 the building was listed as grade I and any plans for its demolition were thwarted. During the early 1950s the Ministry of Works oversaw work to preserve and restore the building as it can be seen today. [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP].
