New Mill, Northbourne

KentSalads Ltd were based in Northbourne until they relocated to Tilmanstone and renamed themselves Tilmanstone Salads. Kentsalads were the first UK company to produce Iceberg lettuce commercially.

Northbourne Court

[edit]

In the 16th century Northbourne Court was the home of Miles Pendred and his wife Elizabeth Lewin and their family.[4] She had been a nurse to Elizabeth I, and her daughter Anne's husband Edward Sanders was sometimes called the Queen's "foster brother".[5] The old house and chapel were ruined and demolished by 1750, but the garden wall still survives. A engraving of the chapel ruins drawn by John Mercer was published in the Gentleman's Magazine for December 1802.[6][7]
