Wingham Mansion or Wingham Court
Wingham Mansion, also known as Wingham Court, was a mansion house located close to Wingham parish church, and about one mile to the north of Deane. The Palmer family had acquired the lease of the former ecclesiastical premises of Wingham College in ca. 1540.
The house was described by XXX as XXXX.
An engraving entitled Wingham College and Church, dated ca. 18XX, shows the Palmer's house to the right of the parish church.
A number of letters published by D.K.Gardiner (London, 1933) mention visiting the Palmer family at their mansion house, where the entertainment was reputedly good.
