Thank you John Walker, it is interesting history. When we visited that day a helicopter landed in the grounds ( we watched ) it was piloted by Prince William who was escorted in for lunch.
I have emailed them but have had no reply   and as I'm stone deaf now  can't phone and maybe get the answer to my query. Never mind it doesn't really matter now . Would have been interesting to me and my family though.

I've only just logged on today but seeing Chilston Park in GTP, can only say thankyou John Walker.
It was my late hubby's ancestral pile ( 4x Gt Grandmother born there Louisa Best. ) but and only because it's had the lovely history added , has anyone any idea of which family is shown in the large portrait on the beautiful staircase ?
Louisa's father was George Best and mother Caroline Scott. George died in 1819 .
We only visited once back in 2012 and only just to nip in and get the brochure they had. Never actually saw the portrait in person . I would love to know whether they are the Best family . Any help would be really appreciated. x

My Grandfather was Bailiff at Cork Farm.My mum went to School at Chilham .My Uncle and Aunt Arthur and Nancy Fill owned/landlorded the Woolpack in the early 1900's so have visited Chilham many times over the years.


Where would you find this very distinctive Spire?

Spot on Grandarog. Not a fisherman myself, but their website has some serious fish pictures.


The Wikipedia entry for the Stour mills is also very informative, many more than I had realised.


Over to you.

That's an old picture of Chilham Mill. . The Mill was owned by Southern water until it was bought with the whole estate in the last 20 years .The owner set up a carp Fishery there which is very popular with Anglers.

JohnWalker. Many thanks for that additional history to GDP, very interesting. I was intrigued by the Chinese Chippendale staircase. Anyone been there who might explain please?
