-An article in The Topographer (1789) mentions the tradition that Denton Court was built by Richard Rogers, the last suffragan bishop of Dover, who died in 1597 (The Topographer, 1789: 236-237).  However, the article also states that "in a late sale there of furniture, &c., there was found some old painted glass of the arms of the former owners, the Boys's, which, if it was not perceived there from the older house, looks as if they were the builders." (The Topographer, 1789: 237).

(The Topographer, 1789: 237).
 A description of the house follows,  noting the "rather singular" style of architecture, "particularly the balconies." "The rooms within are large and lofty, and numerous.  On the upper story, thro' the whole length of the front, runs a gallery, along the sides of which are small rooms and closets, and passages, enough to terrify a superstitious mind."  The garden, which in 1789 was "now running wild," was "one of the last of those formal ones, called King William's, with high clipped hedges, terraces, and a mount, which was really introduced at least as early as the reign of King Henry VIII."  The "materials of the house are brick, but the  front has been cased over with plaister, probably in this century.  The windows have also been sashed, which was originally, no doubt, the same as those which are  now seen along the upper story, and at the side."
