The Mount, Ospringe
The Mount is a large 18th-century house which is situated in the south-western corner of the playing field at the eastern edge of Ospringe. In 1837 it was occupied by Lieutenant-general Gerard Gosselin who died in 1859 and by 1866 the house was occupied by Percy Beale Neame, a hop farmer who, in 1864, had become a partner in the Faversham brewing business which became known as Shepherd Neame. It was used as a hospital during World War I and after the war it was used as a home for refugee children from Serbia. In 1921 it became a National Children's Home property, closing in the 1930s. The building, which is Grade II listed, was later used as an office by the Ministry of National Insurance and by the Kent Agricultural Emergency Committee. It is now divided into residential flats.
