Swaylands is a majestic and elegant estate that has been given a new lease of life through the most careful restoration and development of its architectural beauty. Set within grounds that are quite literally breathtaking, Swaylands offers its new residents that rare opportunity to discover the peace and tranquillity of gracious living whilst enjoying the best of contemporary luxury. The original house, fully restored, now offers twenty-eight luxurious individual homes. Each property demonstrates how the grand proportions of the original rooms have been sympathetically employed to embrace the many aspects of contemporary living that would have been inconceivable to the original architects. Two new developments, Drummond Hall and Woodgate Manor provide additional new generously proportioned apartments. These new complexes have been designed to embrace the rich architectural heritage of the estate and thus sit comfortably alongside the original buildings. All the homes at Swaylands, whether they be in the House, the Hall or the Manor, enjoy the same essential qualities - the beautiful kitchens and bathrooms, sumptuous bedrooms and spacious reception rooms. Together, they conspire to deliver a lifestyle that is definitively luxurious. Swaylands holding brochure:Layout 1 21/09/2009 17:30 Page 8 a legacy of charm and beauty that stretches back 150 years Swaylands was conceived back in the mid 19th century by William Woodgate who had it designed as a smaller version of his traditional family home – a splendid mansion on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells. Subsequent owners, notably George James Drummond, were invariably high society and the house became well known in such circles for the splendour of its many grand parties and other social events. King Edward VII, a close friend of Drummond, was a regular visitor as became his daughter-in-law, Queen Mary, whose visits were documented with great pride in the local newspapers. Other notable visitors to this most sociable of estates included the writer and poet Seigfried Sassoon, and the author of Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie. The grand old house was requisitioned by the British military for use in the Second World War and managed to survive being a target for the Luftwaffe. Post-war, it became an educational establishment for boys, and more recently has emerged, thankfully unscathed, from various plans to divert its purpose away from that for which it was originally conceived – as a unique and blissfully peaceful place to enjoy a quality of life all too rare in these hurried times. Clockwise from above: King Edward VII, JM Barrie, Queen Mary © National Portrait Gallery, London Swaylands holding brochure:Layout 1 21/09/2009 17:30 Page 10 architecture as art, set against some of the finest countryside england has to offer With the castellated turrets, mullioned windows and imposing archways of the original house intact, and its architectural cues carried through in the development of Drummond Hall and Woodgate Manor, Swaylands possesses a timeless aura that pervades across the rolling Kentish countryside that surrounds it. Although the estate occupies forty acres of grounds, both landscaped and wooded, it seems as though its charms extend beyond the horizon. Not for nothing has Kent been known for centuries as The Garden of England – its unspoilt vistas have attracted visitors and artists alike to bathe in its peace and tranquillity. An abundance of flora and fauna await the ambling walker and the far views of hop fields will doubtless tickle the taste buds of those familiar with the joys of true English ale.

Swaylands holding brochure:Layout 1 21/09/2009 17:31 Page 14 here, life can be lived An oasis amidst an oasis, such is life at Swaylands. Not here the noise, dirt and bustle of a city outside the front door of a sumptuous apartment – just peace. And with peace comes time, to enjoy the things you hold most dear without the intrusions and distractions dictated by urban society. A plethora of pursuits can be entertained in and around Swaylands – a fully equipped gymnasium for residents is located in Swaylands House and there is a tennis court in the grounds. Swaylands offers countless opportunities for restful walks amongst the landscaped gardens and the less manicured but none the less beautiful woodlands and outfields. The surrounding countryside is perfect for horse-riding (there are stables nearby) and the Medway river, bordering Swaylands, passes through nearby Penshurst where it has its confluence with the Eden – both offering superb fishing.

  • EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I Do Not Suppose
    EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I do not suppose many people in Penshurst will know me – or remember me, but my name is still just visible on the board over the entrance to the Post Office (formerly The Forge): I am described as SMITH & COACH BUILDER, Agent for agricultural implements. How much longer that inscription will last I cannot imagine, having been painted more than 100 years ago. Illustration by kind permission of Richard Wheatland www.richardwheatland.com Allow me to introduce myself: my name is John Ephraim SKINNER. I was born in November, 1872, at Wadhurst, East Sussex, the eldest son of a couple of farm workers. My father, Thomas, was a ploughman; my mother was just 20 years old when I was born. To be the eldest of 13 children gives anyone some position in life, and so it is no surprise that I grew up feeling rather responsible, not to say patronising towards my younger brothers and sisters. Look at me in the photograph, which I reproduce here. I could not help wearing a suit and butterfly collar – it was prescribed for me, but I did not object. Mind you – it was Sunday wear: we are in the days when everyone had to attend church, and had to dress formally – collar and tie, waistcoat, boots. How on earth do you think an agricultural worker and his wife could feed and clothe such a large family on their pathetic income? I cannot remember passing down clothes to younger boys when I outgrew them; I cannot ever remember having new clothes bought for me.

  • Warders Medical Centre the History of a Practice in Tonbridge and Penshurst 1808-2021
    1 Warders Medical Centre The History of a practice in Tonbridge and Penshurst 1808-2021 David MG Goodridge 2 This is the story of the Warders medical practice as it has evolved in step with the developments in medical care and the way in which it has been delivered over the past two centuries. Although it has been produced primarily for the patients of Warders Medical Centre and local residents, we feel it may also be of interest to other general practices and medical historians. We were surprised at the variety and depth of our own history which includes: · The first description of a rare form of epilepsy. · · A Victorian polymath whose research interests included the weights of human teeth and the study of shells and the compound eyes of insects. · · Research leading to an alteration in the UK Driving Regulations for patients with epilepsy. We hope this site will encourage other practices to research and publish their own histories and perhaps produce a virtual history of general practice. Page Number 1. Early days 1815-1894.
