From Tunbridge Wells we motored through very pretty country to Penshurst House - the seat of Lord Hardinge of India fame.   The village is quite quaint & picturesque - its old butcher's shop dating from 1610.   The House contains one of the finest examples of old dining room - with its oak benches & tables & fireplace in centre of floor.
