Stone Castle

Stone Castle is now the offices of the Blue Circle Group. The building has medieval origins and dates from around 1825. In the south-east corner, there is a medieval square tower, likely from the late 12th century, which has three storeys and is faced with knapped flints, featuring some stone quoins and a parapet. The north wall of the tower includes two arrow slit windows and a circular stair turret, while the other windows are modern.

To the north-west of the tower is a house built around 1825, which was altered by Henry Hakewill, who died in 1830. This house has two storeys and five windows, also faced with knapped flints and long and short quoins made of yellow brick. It features a stone stringcourse and cornice, as well as a castellated parapet made of knapped flints. The house has spindly stock brick clustered chimney stacks and twin sash windows with dripstones above them. The central projection of three storeys has similar quoins at its angles, a porch on the ground floor with a four-centred arch, machicolation at the top, and a castellated parapet above.

The west front of the building has seven windows and two bays of three windows each on both floors, with similar quoins at the angles of each face. Inside, there is some trefoil-headed panelling dating from around 1830. In the 16th century, the controller of Calais, Sir John Wyllshire, lived here, and it is reputed that Cardinal Wolsey stayed here on his way to Calais.
