Manor of Jenkins

As such the estate at its largest spread as far as Dagenham village and it was found in some historical records to have stretched as far as East Hall.

The original estate was located in present-day Mayesbrook Park in the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, north of where Eastbury manor house stands today.

[2] In 1273 the manor of Jenkins was recorded as being held by Emery de Bezill, for a rent of 8 shillings 8 pence and a suit-court.

Documents describe the house of the time as a large gabled building which included a chapel with a window of stained glass containing an image of a woman suspected to be a depiction of the Abbess.

A farmhouse stood on the original manor house site until 1937 when what was then called Jenkins farm was torn down for development of the expanding suburbs of London.
