Leeds Castle, Kent

Leeds Castle was granted to Sir Anthony St. Leger by the Crown in 1552 and stayed in St. Leger ownership until 1618 when Sir Warham St. Leger sold it to Sir Richard Smyth, his wife's uncle. It was later sold by the daughters of Sir Richard Smyth to Sir Thomas Culpeper in 1632. This picture shows the ruins of part of the old castle.
