Salmestone Grange is a medieval monastic farm complex located near Margate in Kent. The grange originated as a daughter house or agricultural estate of the Benedictine monastery of St Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury, established during the medieval period to manage the Abbey's extensive land holdings in the region. The surviving structures include the hall and associated outbuildings that formed the working farmstead, with architectural elements reflecting medieval construction techniques. The site represents an important example of monastic agricultural organisation in medieval Kent, demonstrating how major ecclesiastical institutions exploited their rural properties through organised grange management.
