King Edward III manor house

The remains of the so-called King Edward III manor house are near the Thames in Rotherhithe in London.

[1] The present moated house was built around 1350 by King Edward III when Rotherhithe was just a small hamlet.

[5] The walls are constructed of ashlar blocks to plinth level with a coursed rubble superstructure and vary between 0.8 and 1.2 m in thickness.

Part of the north, east and west walls survive as exposed upstanding remains, but the rest of the structure has been reburied following the excavations in the 1980s.

Together with the nearby King's Stairs Gardens park, the manor house forms part of London Borough of Southwark’s Edward III's Rotherhithe Conservation Area.
