Leeds Castle, four miles south east of Maidstone, Kent, England, dates back to 1119, though a manor house stood on the same site from the 9th century. The castle and grounds lie to the East of the village of Leeds, which should not be confused with the city of Leeds in Yorkshire. Leeds is the home of the black swans. They were a gift given to Winston
Churchill after WWII. He sent them to Leeds to live. Their descendants
are still there. (WIKIPEDIA INFORMATION)
