Temple Manor is the remains of a Knights Templars manor house and 'camera', a subsidiary farm of a preceptory, located in Strood, Kent. The site was part of a royal manor until c.1159 when Henry II granted it to the Knights Templars. When the Knights Templar were suppressed in 1312, Temple Manor passed to the Knights Hospitaller. A succession of owners followed the Dissolution, with the site being sold to the City of Rochester in the 1930s. It has since been surrounded by an industrial estate, with the farm buildings lost. The upstanding remains now comprise the 13th century stone hall on a vaulted undercroft, with 17th century red brick extensions. The monument is within the council area of Medway.
