Temple Manor, the stone hall of the manor house of the Knights Templar. Per English Heritage: ‘The manor of Strood was given to the Knights Templar by Henry II in 1159. The Knights Templar was a military and religious order that was established at the time of the Crusades to protect pilgrims travelling to the Holy Land and to defend the holy places there. It acquired extensive possessions in Europe and became rich and powerful. Probably no more than two knights of the order would have lived permanently at Temple Manor. A bailiff may have run the estate. The hall was built about 70 years after the Templars had acquired the estate and was designed to provide suitable lodging for dignitaries travelling between Dover and London. A kitchen range and other service buildings would have been part of the complex. The manor house became derelict and was restored by the Ministry of Works after the Second World War.’
