Malmaynes or Malmains Hall is recorded in the Historic Area Assessment by English Heritage for Stoke Parish, part of the wider Hoo Peninsula study. The Hall is described as located to the north-west of Upper Stoke. The Hall was in existence by the 11th century and occupied in 1300 by Sir Nicholas Malmaynes. By the 18th century, the property was being leased by the Duppa Family whose principal seat was Hollingbourne, Kent. The house, rebuilt in brick in the 18th century, was replaced in the 20th century.
