Chartham Manor

Located in Kent : near Canterbury
Monastic residence
Performance Space: Hall

The original dimensions of the 3-bay ground floor hall have been altered by later renovations. There was likely a large window at the dais end. The original soulaced collar-rafter roof remains. Painted glass was added to the hall windows by the late 15th c., including the rebus of Cardinal Morton. (Pearson, <em>Gazetteer</em> 28.)

Because there is no evidence of a roof having been broken through for a chimney, it is assumed that any fireplaces used for heating would have been against the rear wall, but no trace of these is left. A later Jacobean fireplace was added and remains in the house.
