| Mounts Farm, Cranbrook Road depicted in the two photographs to the immediate right. "The listed-building descriptions suggest that there may be at least 9 medieval hall houses in Benenden additional to the 12 surveyed by the Royal Commission, although some are qualified as "probably" medieval. Most of these additional houses have a medieval core, but substantial later alternations and additions. They are: Bishopsden, Cleveland Farm, Eaglesden, Field Farm, Little Crit, Mill Street House, Mounts Farm Cottage (formerly Mounts Farm), Stream Far cottages and Weald House." "The listed barns, eleven in number, include three, at Mounts Farm, Mounthall and Redhouse Farm, considered to have 16th century origins; all have been substantially altered....Typically these barns are of the "Threshing Barn" type, with large doors at the front to allow the entry of fully laden carts to the threshing floor and low doors at the back, where the empty carts emerged. Most are weather-boarded with tiled roofs. From The Landscape of Benenden by Ernest Pollard and Hazel Strouts, July 2006 |
