The Manor of Blackmansbury, alias Bridge, belonged to St Augustine's Abbey until the dissolution of the monasteries. It came into the ownership of Henry VIII and was granted to Henry Lawrence. It remained in that family until 1638, when it was sold to the Dutchman, Sir Arnold Braems. He became the first manager of Dover Harbour Board and had the magnificent house built, being nine bays wide by seven deep around a courtyard. Hasted describes it as "a spacious and magnificent mansion", which was renamed Bridge Place in about 1650.....read more on listing site.
