The '''Kenway Mansion''' was the [[London]] estate of the Kenway family following the pirate-turned-[[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]]'s return to [[United Kingdom|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 Kenway|Tessa Stephenson-Oakley]] who he eventually married.<ref name="Forsaken">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forsaken]]''</ref> Though no longer a pirate, Kenway kept memorabilia of his life on the sea at the mansion, including a secret basement vault which concealed Assassin history and other mementos, such as the wheel of his old ship the ''[[Jackdaw]]''.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

In 1735, the mansion was attacked by mercenaries under the employ of the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Reginald Birch]]. Kenway was killed and the house was set ablaze. Afterwards, Tessa allowed Birch to take legal guardianship of her son with Edward, [[Haytham Kenway|Haytham]], unaware of Birch's role in the attack. She oversaw repairs to the mansion and passed away following a fall in 1747.<ref name="Forsaken"/>

After Birch's death at the hands of Haytham, who had become a Templar himself, and Jennifer ten years later, 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.<ref name="ACUnovel">[[Assassin's Creed: Unity (novel)|''Assassin's Creed Unity'' novel]]</ref>

The Templars, out of respect for Haytham, 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 [[Jayadeep Mir|Henry Green]] in search of clues to the whereabouts of [[Pieces of Eden|precursor artifacts]], specifically a [[Shrouds of Eden|Shroud of Eden]]. There they found Edward's vault but had to abandon it to avoid being caught by the Templar [[Lucy Thorne]].<ref name="ACS" /><ref name="ACUW">''[[Assassin's Creed: Underworld]]'' - Chapter 72</ref>

In 1888 the mansion was used by Lady Owers as a venue for which to make an announcement regarding the saving of prostitutes that was infiltrated by the master assassin Evie Frye during her investication in to the actions of Jack the Ripper.
