A favourite of period dramas, Groombridge Place has remained relatively unchanged for centuries.

It’s a picture-postcard Kent scene but the health of the River Grom that flows past the old manor house, and feeds its moat, appears to be struggling.

Volunteers from Project Ripple Effect, who are concerned about the state of rivers, are testing the water quality of the Grom after reports of reduced biodiversity.
