The bell tower at Leybourne Chase has a history marked by both resilience and repair. Initially, the tower housed three bells, but after a collapse in 1580, it was restored with two. Lightning struck the tower in 1966, causing a fire that led to only one bell being retained. The tower, originally Norman, was later encased in an additional wall in 1874 by architect Sir Arthur Blomfeld.

Location

Leybourne Chase's history is tied to the larger story of Leybourne Grange, a stately home that predates the modern development. The Grange site, initially part of Leybourne Castle and Manor lands, was acquired by Sir Francis Whitworth in 1724, who built a Palladian house. James Hawley purchased the property in 1766, and his family, including the famous racehorse owner Sir Joseph Hawley, lived there for several generations. In the 20th century, the site became a mental hospital, which closed in 1996. In the 2000s, Taylor Wimpey developed the site into the current Leybourne Chase housing estate.
