Temple Manor is a 13th-century stone house situated in Strood, Kent, and represents a rare surviving example of domestic architecture from the medieval period. The building dates to approximately the 1220s and was constructed by the Knights Templar, who held the property as part of their extensive landholdings in England. The house is notable for its well-preserved stone construction and its two-storey hall plan, which reflects the architectural preferences of the period. The survival of Temple Manor provides valuable evidence of high-status residential building during the early 13th century and the material culture of the military religious order that commissioned it.
