Gore Court House & Estate
£5.00
by Helen Allinson
Gore Court House was a stately and charming mansion which once stood in what is now a public park in Sittingbourne. Built in the 1790s, the house has long since been demolished and nothing but the stables and the bases of the pillars of the portico remain today. For a century it was a grand home run by many servants. Then it embarked on a long slow decline and late in the nineteenth century it became a boarding school. During the first World War the house and grounds were taken over as a training camp. Helen has written a delightful little book that brings the history of this once great house to life.
