THE MANOR OF OLD SORE, NEAR
PLAXTOL IN KENT.

BY J. F. WAD MORE, 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 Oxen-
hoath,† 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 Ton-
bridge, 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 Archaeological 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.
