Belmont House and Gardens

Belmont is a Georgian house and gardens in Throwley, near Faversham in east Kent.

[1] The house, garden and clock collection were all featured in March 2023 in an episode of the BBC TV programme Antiques Roadshow which was filmed in 2022.

[2] There was no house or estate on the site until the land was bought in 1769 by Edward Wilks, store-keeper of the Royal Powder Mills at Faversham.

[1] The current house was largely created between 1789–1793 by Colonel John Montresor of the Royal Engineers.

[3] His descendants continued to live at Belmont, the clock collection being assembled by the 5th Lord Harris, who served as the first President of the Antiquarian Horological Society,[1] for which Jonathan Betts acts as Curatorial Adviser.
