COLEPEPER

THE MANOR OF OLD SORE, NEAR
PLAXTOL IN KENT.

BY J. F. WADMORE, A.R.I.B.A.

THE Manor of Sore* is mentioned by Hasted as appertaining of old time to the Preston branch of the Colepeper family, and was held by them conjointly with the Manor of Oxenhoath, and the Manor of Great Hoo, by the yearly payment of a pair of gilt spurs. The remains of the old Manor

house of Sore is about five miles to the north-east of Tonbridge, and three and a half from the Borough Green Station on the London and Chatham Railway, in the parish of Wrotham.

It was visited by the Kent Archæological Society on the occasion of their Annual Meeting at Sevenoaks in 1871, and the salient features of interest were pointed out by *Hasted, vol. v., p. 23. + Ibid., p. 63. Archæologia Cantiana, Vol. IX., p. lxvii.
