English: Belmont. Viewed across the park from Throwley Road.
Belmont is a Georgian country house and was the seat of successive Lords Harris from 1801 until the Sixth Lord's death in 1995. The Harris family played a significant role in British expansion overseas during the 19th century.
The original house was built in 1769 by Edward Wilks, the store-keeper at the nearby Faversham Powder Mill. It was because of the extensive views and its elevated position that Wilks called the house Belmont.
