Brief potted history;
Manor house and grounds previously owned by the Hawley family who were Baronets and their coat of arms is still displayed on the front of the manor house.
Sold off in the 1920's and in 1936 became the Leybourne Grange Colony For Mental Defectives.
Sixty years later it closed and is now undergoing redevelopment.
