[TQ 9509 5964] In 1599 the first Lord Teynham, possibly owing to scarcity of water, removed from the ancient manor house of Bedmangore to a new site about 0.25 miles away where he erected a fine mansion, formerly known as Lodge, now Lynsted Park (TQ 95 NW 3). Four roads enclose the park and near one of these stood the village of Bedmangore. Lord Teynham constructed a coach drive planted with an avenue of limes from the old site to the new house. Details of the ancient manor house are not known. (1) Nothing remains of the early manor house or village. Enquiries at Lynsted Park and search of fields were negative. (2)
