More about this scene
Hothfield Place was the seat of the Tufton family, but was pulled down after the Second World War. In the 16th century Sir John Tufton entertained Queen Elizabeth I over two days. The 13th-century church of St Margaret, on the edge of the park, was struck by lightning in 1598 and largely burned to the ground. Sir John rebuilt it before his death in 1624, at the age of eighty, and his magnificent tomb is inside, although the bodies of Sir John and his wife were later transferred to Rainham because of water penetration into the family vault below.
