Valence House
Valence House, Becontree Avenue, Dagenham, Essex,
Dagenham
,
The only surviving manor house in Dagenham, Valence House was first recorded in a property deed in 1269. It is still partially surrounded by a moat. Following extensive refurbishment, exciting new galleries tell the story of Barking and Dagenham and its people throughout the ages. The Archives and Local Studies Centre has relocated to the new Visitor Centre. Admission free (some events are ticketed).
Relax in the tranquil surroundings of the Herb Garden, Victory Plot and grounds. Round off your visit by taking refreshments in the Oasis Cafe and browsing in our gift shop (both located in the Visitor Centre).
