Goodnestone, Dover

Goodnestone Park is a stately home near the Canterbury–Sandwich village. It was built in 1704 by Brook Bridges. Bridges' daughter, Elizabeth, married Jane Austen's brother, and Austen visited them on the estate regularly.^[1] Its gardens are open to the public from late March to early October, and on Sundays from mid-February.

The ghost story writer M. R. James was born in Goodnestone Parsonage in 1862. His father, Herbert James, was curate at Goodnestone church.
