Lord of the Manor, Kent
The Lord of the Manor is a former pub and road junction near Cliffsend on the Isle of Thanet in Kent.
History
The pub was on the southeast corner of a crossroads; one carrying the road from Canterbury to Ramsgate, the other from Sandwich to Margate.[1] It was named after the original manor house at this location, which belonged to the Marquess Conyngham.[2]
In 1966, several Anglo Saxon burial grounds were discovered near the pub following utility works. The remains were re-interred at the Duckworth Laboratory in Cambridge and the associated objects housed in Ramsgate library.[1] Further excavation took place between 1976 and 1981.[3] In 1981, the site was made a scheduled monument.[4][5]
The junction is now a roundabout between the A299 Thanet Way from London and the A256 from Dover. The two roads share a single dual carriageway to the south of the junction, and then branch off to Ramsgate and Margate respectively.[6]
