A Victorian mansion with roots going back to the 11th century, Taplow was once owned by the monks of Merton Priory, and after the Dissolution of the Monasteries passed through several owners to the Earls and Countesses of Orkney. It was given its present French Gothic look by architect William Burn in the late 19th century. Today Taplow is owned by a lay Buddhist organization and operated as a study centre.

 Whitsable Castle
  

Not so much a castle as a castellated manor house, Whitstable Castle dates to the last years of the 18th century. It was built by Charles Pearson, a successful London businessman and entrepreneur. In 1835 the manor was purchased by William Ellis, and it was he who transformed the earlier manor, adding a west wing and bell tower. The castle was eventually purchased by the Whitstable District Urban Council. It is now operated by a charity, the Whitstable Castle Trust, and used as a venue for concerts, weddings, and community activities.
