'Smith's Hall one of ye Seats of John Brewer Esq.'

Early 18th century folio antique copperplate print, 1719

Smiths Hall (later West Farleigh Hall), West Farleigh, near Maidstone, Kent. Built in 1719, with later 18th-century additions. The house was known as West Farleigh Hall from the early 20th century until the 1990s. A residence on this site was held by the Brewer family from the mid-15th century until 1762. The present building is a two-storey brick house with a plain tile roof, its date confirmed by 1719 rainwater hoppers. In Harris’s engraved view the house appears closely similar in form but shown with three storeys rather than two. As the plate was published in the year of construction, it is likely that the view was prepared from early plans or drawings, and that the upper storey was omitted before completion.
