Kenway Mansion

The Kenway Mansion was the London estate of the Kenway family following the pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway's return to England from the Caribbean.

History
After he was pardoned by Robert Walpole, Edward Kenway and his daughter Jennifer Scott moved to London. He purchased the manor on Queen Anne's Square with help from Tessa Stephenson-Oakley who he eventually married. Though no longer a pirate, Kenway kept memorabilia of his life on the sea at the mansion, including a secret basement which concealed, among other things, the wheel of his old ship the Jackdaw.

In 1735, the mansion was attacked by mercenaries under the employ of the Templar Reginald Birch. Kenway was killed and the house was set ablaze. Afterwards, Tessa allowed Birch to become the legal guardian of her son with Edward, Haytham, unaware of Birch's role in the attack. Tessa oversaw repairs to the mansion and passed away following a fall in 1747.

After Birch's death at the hands of Haytham and Jennifer, Jennifer returned to Queen's Anne Square to live in the mansion as a spinster, along with her servants. In 1789, Elise de la Serre infiltrated the mansion under an alias, hoping to steal Haytham's letters, but was discovered by Jennifer.

The Templars, respecting Haytham's wishes, let the mansion be. However, they quietly bought the estate after Jennifer Scott's death in 1805. Decades later, in 1868, the mansion was infiltrated by the Assassins Evie Frye and Henry Green in search of clues to the whereabouts of precursor artifacts, specifically a Shroud of Eden.
