King Cnut gave the site of Westenhanger Castle to Archbishop Eadsin of Canterbury in a bid to save his soul. Today’s Grade I-listed building dates from the 14th century and the interiors reflect this rich history, particularly in the bridal suite, which has a 16th-century stone-mullioned leaded-light window.
