Rare first separate edition of this architectural history of the medieval manor house Ightham Mote in Kent, the first appearance of which appeared in the journal 'Archaeologia Cantiana'. The 'excellent drawings' (p. 1) are the work of Miss Elizabeth Drake of Rochester. The origins of the house date from ca. 1320-1360, and was bought by Sir William Selby in 1591. The estate was to remain within the Selby family for nearly 300 years. It was purchased in 1889 by the co-author of the present account, Sir Thomas Colyer-Fergusson, who together with his wife carried out extensive repairs and restoration to the house, after several years of neglect.
