An old tradition places England’s oldest house on the Isle of Thanet near Margate. The dwelling is linked to early ninth century king Egbert who granted land to his niece Domneva, who built Minster Abbey before passing to the monks of St Augustine’s Canterbury. The abbey held it for five centuries until dissolution, after which James I sold the abbey and it became a private residence.
