More about this scene
It is suggested that the remains of Herstmonceux Castle form part of the oldest brick mansion in Britain; it was built in 1441, following a grant from the King to Roger de Fiennes to 'embattle' his manor-house at Herstmonceux. It was rebuilt in a military style, and in the towers are cross-crosslets from which cross-bow bolts could be discharged.

Further along on the right was the local garage with showroom, owned by the big "Caffyns" ...see more
