Assessor comments
"Local history and more at this great little museum"
Overview
It’s not just local history at Folkestone Town Hall & Museum, but it certainly is well covered. Exhibits look at the origins of the town in the Neolithic era, its maritime history, ‘fashionable Folkestone’, the influx of Belgian refugees in WW1, the WW2 evacuation of the town, and more. There’s also a gallery of sketches by the Old Masters.

About the area
Kent is home to the White Cliffs of Dover, an English icon that marks the point where the Kent Downs AONB stretches from the Surrey Hills down to the sea. Visitors can explore historic parklands, including Knole Park and Sir Winston Churchill’s former home at Chartwell, or beautiful nature reserves, such as the coppiced woodlands of Denge Wood and Earley Wood and the ancient fine chalk woodland of Yockletts Bank.
