Davington Court, located near Dark Hill in west Faversham, had once been a big, luxurious mansion, grand enough for the Sheriff of Kent, Sir James Walsingham, to be based there in 1496-97.
In or around 1621 it was demolished, and replaced by a much smaller 'new' house converted from one of its outbuildings.
Thomas Milles, who died in 1637, was also owner of Davington Court for a time.

Marked by a wall plaque, the mannerist-style gateway built in 1624 is still to be seen in Old Gate Road, Faversham. |
