A beautiful castle to visit, ...whether there's a link or not.

I hope you find some clues or even answers.

Half Term Heraldry at Leeds Castle
Entertain the family with a visit to the castle at half term. Trace Leeds Castle’s previous owners and find out how to research your own family tree. Young visitors have fun designing their own coat of arms and other heraldry-themed activities.

Have you tried contacting Leeds Castle, they possibly have an archive section.

Has anyone in the Kent area heard of this story? (Long shot, I know!). We have a family story that a Romany gypsy in our family, in the 1800s, Kent area, married an Irish aristocrat who was then disinherited. Leeds castle in Kent somehow features in the story but Im unsure how. I dont suppose it rings any bells with anyone?
