Lympne Castle

Lympne Castle is a medieval fortified manor house in the village of Lympne, Kent, originally founded in the 11th century and rebuilt and expanded in the later Middle Ages. It served as the residence of the Archdeacon of Canterbury and underwent further additions and restorations in the 15th, 19th and early 20th centuries; today it is a Grade I listed property used for private events and accommodation.

As it stood in 1919

The shape it held in its prime.

A long paved approach runs between low stone garden walls and planted beds to a paved forecourt before a low, continuous stone range with a central pointed arch. The main block presents steep tiled gables and narrow mullioned windows, with several tall, rectangular chimney stacks rising above the roofline. Roofs are covered in clay tiles; walls are exposed coursed stone with dressed window surrounds. The setting is a village edge above Romney Marsh with enclosed ornamental beds beside the approach.
