Wickham Court Manor has an interesting history and it is mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1066. A family called the Heyden’s acquired the property in the 15th century. The family were of lesser gentry and were very ambitious. Henry Heyden who was the son of John Heyden married Anne who was the daughter of Sir Geoffrey Sullen and he was the Mayor of London in 1469. This Anne happened to be the great aunt of Anne Boleyn the second wife of Henry VIII. The Sullen family were very established in the Kent area and they lived in the very famous Hever Castle. The old manor house was rebuilt and has been altered and extended over the years. Sir William Heyden sold the manor house and the whole estate to the Lennard family in 1580.

The house stayed in the Lennard family until 1935 when it was sold and made into a hotel. During World War II the Manor House was requisitioned by the military and was used by the Canadian Air Force and the A.T.S. After the war it went back to being a hotel for a few years. The proprietor of the hotel Mr Anderson sold the Manor House to the Daughters of Mary and Joseph who turned it into Coloma College.
