Description
Ripple Court, originally called Ripley Court, is a historic house located on Maidstone Road in Westwell. It was the home of the Iden family and is associated with Jack Cade, the leader of Cade's Rebellion in 1450, who is said to have been killed here while resisting capture by Alexander Iden, the Sheriff of Kent, who lived in the house. However, there is some debate about the exact location of Cade's death, as a similar claim is made for Heathfield in Sussex, where a monument commemorates Cade's death.
The house is likely a 15th-century timber-framed hall-house, which has been refaced with red brick on the ground floor and is tile-hung above. It features a hipped tiled roof with smoke louvres, one gabled dormer, four casement windows, and a doorcase with a flat hood over it.
