Description

At the Fleur de Lis Museum & Gallery, visitors can learn about the growth of Faversham from early settlement to the height of its prosperity through illustrations, photographs, sound, and film. Displays of pre-Roman settlement on the banks of the Creek are on view, as are farm and building advances during the Roman occupation, as well as the construction of the Abbey by King Stephen. Growth in trade and commerce after the Norman conquest can be traced as can the town's prominence as a successful Elizabethan town with trade links to London and Northern Europe. Hop growing, fruit growing, charcoal production for explosives, clay field for brick, and the importance of Faversham Creek are highlighted in the Museum through over 40,000 objects, artefacts and images that can be explored to learn more about Faversham's very rich history.
The gallery hosts a changing programme of artistic and historical exhibitions, with work by both local artists as well as showcasing items from the Museum's collections.
