Monument record TR 15 NE 1932 - Possible location of the Manor of Moat
Summary
A moated stone house apparently built by Geoffrey Lowther c.1430; it was sold by his brother Robert in 1448, at which point it was described as ‘all that his manor or tenement called the Moat in the parish of St Martin’s near Canterbury’. A map of c.1560 clearly shows a moated manor with a gatehouse in this vicinity, close to where the Canterbury/Sandwich road crosses the Lampen stream.
