Tudor House — Attraction in Canterbury

We visited the Tudor house as part of the Margate Museum ticket deal at £3 per adult for both attractions. We were greeted by an absolute salt of the earth guy named Ade, he constantly wore a beautiful smile and was super patient and kind to the children. He directed us on where to go then gave us more information. We first visited the cooking/ food room. Learned that it Tudor times sugar was 20 timers more expensive than beef. It was one of those information that you never expect to be true. The menu of daily food were displayed and more history was shared around the room on food growing habits and other things Tudors did. We then went to the hall and moved around the house to see the beauty of the Tudor architecture. As we went upstairs there was conveniently a table with drawings and colouring pencils for the kids to do their own colouring in work. It was such a great addition as it kept them occupied whilst my husband and I looked around the other rooms. Come to the textile room we met Pam, what an incredible lady. So full of talent and knowledge. It was a breath of fresh air! Absolutely beautiful place with exceptional architecture and to think that this house was almost going to be demolished. I'm so glad this Gen is open for the public to see and admire. From the textile room there is a staircase to the garden which is beautifully manicured and we'll landscaped. In the main hall part you can buy souvenirs...

A small tudor house, it is the staff that make it great. Friendly, knowledgable and keen to encourage visitors to learn more, especially the young. With such enthusiasm it is easy to appreciate the history of this property. One of the oldest properties in Thanet, there isn't a lot to see, so you only get the most out of your visit if you read all the available material and chat with staff on site. Whilst parents are reading the fact sheets and various information panels, children can colour in tudor pictures, dress up in Tudor costumes, and inspect the tudor garments (don't worry they are reproductions and so can be touched). Being an old house, there are stairs and no lift, plus a few very low beams, so do...
