Opened in 1976, the
Tenterden Museum is housed in an attractive weatherboard building originally
built in 1850 as a stable and store. Other buildings reflecting the vernacular
industrial style of the 19th century are nearby.
The collections are broad in
type, ranging from agriculture and industry to textiles and archives, with very
strong potential as a learning resource for local history.
The museum
enjoys an excellent town centre position 25 yards from the High Street
bordering two large car parks, one of which has excellent toilet facilities
with a summertime coach park, all en route to the Kent & East Sussex
Railway Station.
The "Tenterden Tapestry" is a nine-panel
embroidery-collage made by local children depicting the history of Tenterden
from when it was just a 'den' or clearing in the wood to today's vibrant market
town.
