Chilham Castle
Built by Dudley Digges in 1616 near a 12th century hexagonal Norman keep.
The manor house was reputedly designed by the famous 17th century architect, Inigo Jones.
There are supposed to be two or three ghosts in the castle, the most well known being the Grey Lady, who is said to been seen on the main stairs.
