Another repeat visit was to Ightham Mote. The last time I saw the house was just before the £10 million restoration programme began in 1989. A large proportion of the building has been dismantled and rebuilt, re-opening in 2004. This was an excellent opportunity to record the way in which the building was constructed, and there is an exhibition detailing this. The archaeological investigations were also the subject of a Time Team special, and there is a DVD of the TV programme with lots of additional footage.
