Britain's What's On Event Guide
Hoppers Hospital
Heritage Open Day: The building has stood for 400 years in the village of Five Oak Green near Tonbridge, set among the hop gardens of Kent.
Originally a row of farm cottages and is now comfortably furnished to provide a haven for those seeking a quiet break. Ownership of 'Hoppers' in Five Oak Green can be traced back through the title deeds to the 1600's when it was owned by Thomas Bennett of East Peckham and his wife Frances. The main house is timber-framed but the ground floor level is under built with painted 19th century brick. The 2 larger central rooms were heated by a chimney between them with back-to-back fireplaces. Stair rise from each of the centre rooms.
