English: Oast House at Godwin House, Golford, Nr Sissinghurst, Kent.
Thought to be built around 1740, this is most likely the oldest oast house in existence. Sissinghurst and neighbouring Benenden and Cranbrook have most of the oldest oast houses built from the mid 1700s. They are distinguished by the cowl coming out the middle of the building as initial oasts were merely converted from existing barns.
