For the tourist visitor to Sandwich its well worth spending half an hour here to look round this small museum which gives a great timeline prospective of Sandwich from Roman times to the present day. Come on who remembers from their English school history lessons that Sandwich used to be on the coast seven hundred years ago and Thanet was really an island? Some good artefacts and interesting descriptions and a very enthusiastic volunteer guide who was very helpful and made sure we didn’t miss the historic courtroom downstairs that was open for our visit.

We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, formed in 2018 with the objective registered with the Charity Commission: To advance education for the public benefit on matters to do with the late medieval period, ie approx. 1330 to 1480 with a special focus on the heritage of Sandwich Town, Kent, in particular but not exclusively by providing a maritime and land based crafts “living museum”. Aims We plan to bring together all groups and individuals in Sandwich who are interested in the late medieval period who wish to contribute to the living history of Sandwich. The base for our activities is the wooden boatyard building on the slipway by the Quay, the Sandwich Medieval Centre. A special focus is engaging with young people. In addition to the centre being an historically interesting visitor centre, it will also be the base for educating and mentoring juniors in medieval crafts and skills to ensure that the rich history of Sandwich in this period is not lost to future generations.
This is a great little enterprise, focusing on Medieval life and crafts, which you can sign up for and have a go yourself. They are really friendly people who really know their stuff, its even dog friendly!
