Description
The ruins of Great Cossington at Cossington Farm are the remains of a manor house, likely dating from the 16th to early 17th century. The structure features south, east, and north walls, along with remnants of the west wall at the north-west corner. The plinth is made of galletted random rubble and is particularly deep on the north-east side. The walls are constructed from red brick, with some blue brick above and patches of random rubble. All the brickwork is laid in English bond. Notably, there are four bee-boles on the north wall facing south. Additionally, there are remains of a large random rubble chimney-breast at the north end of the east wall, which faces outward to the east. A brass commemorating John Cosyngton, who died in 1426, can be found in Aylesford Church.
