In 1315 Edward II acquired the manor of Gravesend following the death of Joan de Crammaville. Edward spent lavishly on the house, apparently rebuilding the old manor house. The building works were completed by 1368, and a new wharf was begun in 1369. By his will of 1376, the manor was made over to the Priory of St Mary Graces by the Tower of London, who promptly demolished the royal residence to make a dormitory, refectory, cloister and other buildings.

Site of a manorial complex built between 1362 and 1368 by Edward III. The complex consisted of a hall and king's chamber, a chapel, a gatehouse, two houses next to the gate and as ancillary buildings a kitchen, three houses with latrines, two ovens and a bakery, two granges, a bridge and a wharf. A wall demolished in 1951 possibly may have been part of this site. (Kent HER)
