Cudham Lodge
This was a Georgian Mansion owned by Earl Stahope in the 1900's and tenanted by John Westacott.

Wireless Testing
Aperfield Court had been home to a Wireless Testing Park at the side of the Westerham- Bromley Road.

During World War 1 approval was granted by the Earl Stanhope to use part of his lands adjacent to Cudham Lodge to be used as an emergency landing ground by the Royal Flying Corps.

On 2 December 1916 work to relocate the Wireless Testing Park began to a new camp on the land between Cudham Lodge and the Main Road.
