Eastbury Manor House Eastbury Manor House is a listed mansion house in Barking built by Clement Sysley, a rich Essex merchant during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The house was originally in an isolated position surrounded by marshland. In the early 1600s it attracted rich Catholic families who could practice their banned religion there in safety. The house is an arts, heritage and community resource and hosts school visits, historical re-enactments, Family Days, evening events and civil marriage and civil partnerships ceremonies. The money from the lottery grant created a new gift shop and tea room, as well as an access lift to all floors and restoration to parts of the historic gardens.   Click here for more information
