Milton Chantry is the oldest building in Gravesend, it is all that remains of a leper hospital that was built in 1322. It has since had a variety of uses, as a Tudor Chantry chapel, a public house, a Georgian barracks and even as a gas decontamination chamber during World War II. The New Tavern Fort is also on the site in the Fort Gardens.
