Faversham is one of a tiny handful of English towns which can boast a medieval version of the famous Magna Carta. The charter is one of the most celebrated documents of English history, revered the world over as one of the foundation documents of liberty and democracy. In our small exhibition you can view our 1300 Magna Carta, along with some artefacts, maps and royal charters, which have been preserved in Faversham for centuries. Our stewards are more than happy to answer questions and add more stories to make your visit an interesting one!
More than 2000 years of history stretch out, from Vikings to Victorians and beyond, in this fascinating museum! Housed partly in a 15th century former public house, you will see the past and feel involved as the story unfolds of Faversham over the centuries. You will be entranced by the Victorian schoolroom and kitchen, moved by the WW1 & WW2 displays, the costumes and shop fronts delight and there is an amazing selection of sports equipment and information.
