Remains of corner tower to former Archbishops Palace, Otford - Sevenoaks

Remains of gatehouse range to early C16 Archbishops Palace. Ruinous parts need consolidation work. Following Urgent Repair Works in 2017, a local community group has leased the building and is looking at options for its repair and re-use. A report and scheme have been commissioned and an initial phase of repairs have been carried out with funding from various sources. Further work is still required, and options are being pursued.
