Southchurch Hall, Medieval manor house museum in Southend-on-Sea, England.
The timber-framed manor house features a moat, external Tudor chimney stack, and octagonal crown post roof with original blackened timbers.
The land where Southchurch Hall stands was given to Canterbury monks in 823 AD by Saxon thegn Leofstan before construction in 1321.
The exhibition rooms display archaeological findings from the 1929 repairs, showing medieval domestic life in Essex through centuries.
Visitors can access the hall from March through October, Wednesday to Sunday, with refreshments available in the exhibition room.
Natural springs continue to feed the medieval moat surrounding the building, which holds status as a scheduled ancient monument.
