Sheerland House, Pluckley
Sheerland House, Pluckley
A grade II listed building with the round-topped Dering windows. It is part of the home farm of the Surrenden Dering estate and was built in 1813.Dering windows are found in Pluckley and surrounding areas, and named after the Dering family. They are identified by their round tops above each casement.

It is said that during the civil war (1642-1652) one of the Royalist members of the Dering family escaped through one of these windows. Considering them lucky, Sir Edward Cholmeley Dering had all the windows on the Dering estate made to the same pattern.
