![]() Nurstead CourtTravel Information and nearby accommodation
History abounds at Nurstead Court. The manor dates back over 1000 years, though the oldest part of the current house is a relative youngster, built in 1320 by Stehan de Gravesend, Bishop of London. The great hall is one of the finest in England, rising 36 feet to the roof. A solar, or lord's bedchamber, lies above the great hall; this has acted as a bedchamber for an extraordinary 670 years! The original building was much remodelled in the Victorian period, with a wing added at right angles to the hall. A tower stands at one corner of the hall; this was built for defensive purposes but was later used as a chapel. It is now in ruins.
