David - check the date of the last post. In this case its Oct 2003. Don't worry, we've all fallen into the same trap at some point.

If you think Helen might still be interested, send her a message by clicking on her name. If she is still using the same linked email address, she'll be notified that you've sent her a message

Search - benenden manor house
You'll find a photo (1947) and its location - NW corner of the crossroads west of the village green.
Google street view will show you that it is still there.

Thanks, Anna, The manor I'm after was in the village of Benenden, apparently, so it's not Great Dixter which is in Northiam. Thanks for trying!

I typed in "Old Manor House Benenden"in to google and it came up with The manor of Great Dixter which is in Northiam which is not too far away from Benenden.I dont know if this is what you are looking for.Theres a website so you can check it out www(.)greatdixter(.)co(.)uk/manor(.)html Benenden School was opened in 1923,I dont know what if anything it was previous to this. Good Luck Anna

Does this place exist, or has it become part of Benenden School? I rather think it is somewhere different but can't track it down Helen
