Huguenot Museum - (Near Kent, london)

5 /5 Christopher Keeffe: A small museum on the first floor of what is/was the Tourist Information Centre. The museum, modest cost c£5:00 (with concessions) tells an important aspect of the history of Rochester and nation. The Huguenots fled persecution from Franch, during war of religion. During the same period in history in England Elizabethan laws were applied by successive protestant monarch against English Catholics and other non-conformists. For a small museum, it covers a lot of history and is very informative with artifacts from the period including a bible that was baked in a loaf of bread to hide it. A wonderful and detailed dolls house a small sculpture as well a other objects use in daily, religious and medical life including a bleeding pan. The Hugonauts founded the French Protestant hospital further down the high street. Currently below the museum is displayed one of the original HMV paintings of Nipper - His Masters Voice.

5 /5 Star Creek & Josh Creek: A museum exploring a people from the 17th century; the Huguenots were refugees that were welcomed in to England and other European nations. A research service is also included, to find if your surname is matchable to a Huguenot, using historical documents.

5 /5 Rachel Scott: Can not stress enough how engaged the staff are with the collection and what the message they are supporting. Immigrants bring important skills to the UK. The gift shop also has lovely Ukrainian made gifts. Please visit and support such a wonderful wee museum.

4 /5 Max Daley: Small but decent enough to have a little free look around.

5 /5 peter burke: Sometimes making a detour can be the best part of a trip. Certainly was the case today. The sweeps festival and Guild hall, Dickens etc in Rochester was a great plan but..... Coming across from the station if I can recommend an unmissable stop, The Huguenot Museum before you get to the high St. (Its upstairs to the left) Please come with a learners mind. It is a very well put together exhibition and such informed staff who were so so helpful. Huguenot history is such a lesson to be learn for all of us. The pains of religion and how we must look after those who have suffered. I truly recommend an hour here. Dont pay attention to negative reviews below. Size of a museum is irrelevant.
