Ducks Court (sometimes spelt Dux Court) is mentioned in the High Halstow Parish Area Heritage Assessment by English Heritage as part of its wider Hoo Peninsula study. The report states "another manor was claimed at Ducks Court to the southwest of the village, referred to by Hasted in the 1790s as the 'reputed manor of high Halstow.' The report also mentions that workers cottages were built here at the turn of the 20th century. Ducks court is described as having a red-brick farmhouse.(3)
