About twelve miles almost directly north of Goudhurst stands Leeds Castle which 
belonged to the Culpepers, and collateral lines of the Culpepers, for centuries. The 
location and the appearance in every detail, for me, is the essence of a medieval 
castle.

On two small natural islands in a lake formed by the River Len, Ledian or Leed, Chief 
Minister for the King of Kent, in 857 built a wooden castle and protected it by a draw 
bridge over the water. In 1119 Robert de Crevecour, grandson of Hamon de 
Crevecour, who fought with William the Conqueror at Hastings, started building a 
stone castle which continued in the possession of the de Crevecour’s for over a 
hundred years after the conquest. It then came to the de Leyburn family and in 1272 
William de Leyburn conveyed it to Edward 1st as a gift.
