Background
History
In the early 18th century the Honourable John Fane later 7th Earl of Westmoreland inherited the manor. He had the Palladian mansion built. Designed by Colen Campbell, Mereworth Castle then overlooked the village, so Fane had the village moved so that it could not be seen from the estate, about 1/2 mi to the north west of its original location. He also demolished the church, providing the villagers with a new Palladian-style replacement, now dedicated to St Lawrence. Mereworth Church is a Grade I listed building.
