sandwich medieval centre: hours
London
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.We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, a CIO, 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.
