Milton Chantry, Medieval chantry and local museum in Gravesham, England.
Milton Chantry features an original 14th-century timber roof structure enclosed within 19th-century brick walls near Fort Gardens in Gravesend.
Established in 1322 by Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, this building began as part of a leper hospital before serving as a chapel, tavern, and military barracks.
The Chantry Heritage Centre displays numerous Roman artifacts and local historical items that document the development of Gravesend and surrounding villages.
The museum opens from April through September on weekends and bank holidays between noon and 5 PM, with free admission and audio guide access.
During World War II, the basement of this Grade II* listed building was transformed into a specialized gas decontamination chamber for civil defense.
