Centuries, Hythe

The building in 2007

Centuries is a house in Hythe, Kent, built in the 13th century, possibly earlier. It is the birthplace of Hamo Hethe, b.1275, who became the Bishop of Rochester in 1319.[1] In 1685 it became St. Bartholomew's Hospital, for between ten and thirteen people, until 1949; from 1951 it has been divided into two private flats. The house is currently listed on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest as Grade II*,[a] and is on the corner of Church Hill and Bartholomew Street in Hythe.[3]
