John Newton loved Teston and wrote of it: "How beautiful the scene, how do all things proclaim thy presence, oh my Lord".
Newton was not the only one to be mesmerised by the Medway valley at Teston. Wilberforce himself wrote:
"I found him (Lord Barham) and his place (Barham Court) in high preservation. It has none of the grand features of your northern beauties but for the charms of softness and elegance I never beheld a superior to Barham Court".
