Background
History
The site overlies an outcrop of Kentish ragstone and from this the name is thought to originate. Hasted's History of Kent mentions that during the reign of Edward II one John Ellys resided here. A will from a century later records another John Ellis who died a wealthy man. As of 2022, the site opened monthly until October.
Architecture
The main entrance door was restored by Vallance, but is original. The drawing room or parlour formed part of the original house, presumably fulfilling a similar function as a private room apart from the hall. The fireplace is from North Bore, and the stained glass is reproduction. Flanking the oriel are two original windows with rare slots to carry vertical shutters.
