Temple Manor must have just about the most unlikely setting of any of English Heritage's ancient buildings. It is found in an industrial estate alongside Knight Road. Its actual setting can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3602375 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3602377 It is part of a 13th century flint manor house which originally belonged to the Knights Templars. The red brick additions date from Tudor times.
