St John's Jerusalem is a moated house which was once a commandery of the Knights Hospitallers. whose 13th century chapel survives at the east end. Most of the existing house was built from 1665 onwards. It was altered to his financial ruin by Edward Hasted, the historian of Kent, who owned it from 1755 to 1766. It now belongs to the National Trust. The chapel can be visited as can the delightful and peaceful gardens. This view looks across the River Darent, which here also forms part of the moat, to the house.
