Ightham Mote in Kent

Ightham Mote ( pronounced Item) the most complete moated manor house in the country was first established in 1360 long before the Tudor period.
Sir Richard Clement (1521 - 1538),one of Henry VIII ministers, embellished the House with Tudor symbols, (Oriel window barge boards, Great Hall stained glass and in particular, the unique Chapel ceiling, wood panelling painted with symbols from Henry VIII.
The ceiling is painted with Tudor Roses but some are conjoined with pomegranates, the badge of Catherine of Aragon. That fits into the period that Catherine was Queen of England, up until 1533 anyway.

The house has another rather unusual claim, in that it has the only grade 1 listed dog kennel in the country. This dog kennel is the inspiration behind J.M Barrie's Peter Pan and the character of Nana, the Darling childrens large pet dog. Now you just have to take a photo of that.
