Introduction

Badlingham Manor is situated within a rectangular moated site with access across a brick bridge from the west. The moat is 50 feet wide and a considerable part of the River Kennett runs through it, the level being maintained by small weirs. A wall running north from the manor is covered with roses. The garden to the east contained two fish ponds which were later canalised. There is a mixed collection of deciduous trees.
