Lead

Do we have a year for the completion of the house? You should say the oldest part of the house dates to 1567–75, but there was a manor before this.
- Probably the closest thing to a completion date would be when the north and west wings were replaced - 1819. Done--DavidCane (talk) 22:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"It has been a home to a number of members of parliament for Maidstone or for Kent." Can you please list some of the most notable owners and the dates they owned it as an effective summary.
Do we have an architectural style for this building which could be noted in the infobox? The infobox seems a bit empty. Please add the building dates at least.
- Added the four MPs who have articles into the lead.
- It does not really fit into a particular style of architecture; none is specifically identified in the listing details.
- I have added the dates into the box.--DavidCane (talk) 22:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Park

"The estate is private property and is not usually open to the public,". Do we know the name of the current owner?♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:59, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Boughton Monchelsea Place and Stately-homes.com websites list the owners as the Kendrick family. I was in two minds as to whether this should be included in the article, but I suppose, as they advertise this on the websites, there shouldn't be a problem with it going into the article. Thanks for the review.--DavidCane (talk) 22:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks for addressing the points.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
