Temple Manor, Medieval manor house in Strood, England
The stone structure features a vaulted undercroft supporting an upper room designed for aristocratic accommodation, illustrating medieval architectural techniques in England.
Built in 1159 for the Knights Templar, Temple Manor served as a rest station for members traveling between Dover and London during the Crusades period.
The manor reflects the changing ownership patterns of English properties, from religious orders through wealthy local families to municipal administration over six centuries.
Temple Manor operates seasonally from April to October, with visitors needing to contact Rochester Castle at 01634 335 882 for current access information.
The property survived a recommendation for demolition after World War II damage, receiving Grade I listed status in 1950 that ensured its preservation.
