Preston Hall, Aylesford
"Hard to love" was Pevsner's verdict. The materials, ragstone and pale Caen stone, are rather insipid and the detail ponderous. By John Thomas, 1849-57, for Edward Ladd Betts. Grade II listed.
In front is one of two statues, also by Thomas, depicting a lion grappling with a python. Grade II listed.
At the time of the photo, which is uncertain, I believe this was a hospital, and now it is a nursing home.
