Still a privately- owned family home, it has hosted many lavish events and celebrations over the centuries. The stunning manor house and its spectacular surroundings offer a quintessentially English setting. Amongst the 10 acres of award-winning gardens, it boasts its own picture-perfect sunken pond and beautiful far-reaching views across the River Medway. With stone walls, archways, secret gardens, a maze and winding pathways, the venue offers incredible photo opportunities. What’s more, your guests are free to wander and explore. Indoor vows take place in the 13 th -century Undercroft, characterised by its three Medieval pillars and vaulted ceiling. The historical ambience is perfect for such an occasion. Outdoor ceremonies are held in the Rose Garden, which features a 300-year-old lime tree. The sweet fragrance of the surrounding flora envelopes the gazebo for a truly romantic setting. A large wedding marquee, positioned to make the most of the views, will be the setting for the celebrations. It can accommodate 150 day guests and 200 evening guests. With wooden floors, dividing walls and a private bridal changing room, it offers an ideal blank canvas for you to mould to your style. www.kerryannduffy.com www.alextentersphotography.co.uk LOCAL VENUES 19
