Ightham Mote: A Haunted Medieval Manor House in Kent | The Legend of Dame Dorothy Selby In this video, we explore the fascinating history of Ightham Mote, a medieval moated manor house located in Kent, England. Often regarded as “the most complete small medieval manor house in the county” by architectural expert John Newman, this stunning property is steeped in centuries of history. The house was owned by the Selby family for nearly three hundred years, with Dame Dorothy Selby standing out as its most celebrated member. Known for her fine needlework, Dame Dorothy was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth I and became a key figure in the foiling of the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and her anonymous letter to her cousin, Lord Mounteagle, helped uncover the plot before it could take place.
