The property of Gravesend Corporation. The Chantry chapel is all that remains of the leprosy hospital of Milton which was founded by Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, about 1322. This was converted into a dwelling at the Reformation and became a public house called the New Tavern in the C18. It was restored in 1852 and 1862 and again recently. The east wall is of flints. The remainder of the exterior has been rebuilt or encased in brown brick in the C19. Tiled roof. Restored window of Early English type in the east wall. C17 chimney stack. The interior contains a C14 arch-braced roof on the first floor and a stone fireplace with blank spandrels. Similar C14 arch-braced roof on the second floor.
