About Kentchurch Court

The gardens are open from from March to October 11am – 4pm. Groups are welcome. The house is only open to pre-arranged groups.

The large stately home dates to C11 and has been in the Scudamore family for 1000yrs. The deer park surrounding the house dates back to the Knights Hospitallers of Dinmore and lies at the heart of an estate. Historical characters associated with the house include Welsh hero Owain Glendower, whose daughter married Sir John Scudamore. The house was modernised by John Nash in 1795.
