Ightham Mote, a picturesque medieval manor surrounded by a moat, was once home to Mary Freda Cohen, the second wife of Sir Thomas Colyer-Fergusson and a close relative of the Montefiores and Rothschilds, as the guestbook attests. Discover more about this 14th-century National Trust property and its many Jewish connections with Amanda-Jane Doran, Ightham Mote’s collections and house manager. Following the tour, we’ll visit Tudeley to see Marc Chagall’s exquisite stained-glass windows in All Saints Church.
