Lynsted Court, Lynsted, Kent

Lynsted Court, formerly Sewards, is an excellent example of a timber-framed style of architecture of the Elizabethan period. Originally it belonged to the Seward family, who began it in the late 1300s (1370-1400). Then it came into the hands of the Finch family in Henry VIII's time through marriage. It was them who rebuilt much of the house in the Elizabethan period.
