Description
The Kent and Sharpshooters Yeomanry Museum was formed in 1966 to preserve the existing property of the regiment, mainly comprising pictures and silver. It was moved to Hever Castle in 1985 to the top room in the Keep. After a fundraising campaign, it is now housed in its own building since 2015 in the castle grounds. The new Museum follows the history of the regiments from 1794, when part time volunteers formed the Kent Yeomanry to defend against possible invasion by the French.
