Eastgate House

This is one of the buildings that initially doesn't give too much of a vibe, but boy, you'll be so wrong to believe that! Only after entering the house will be mesmerised by the roch history, colours, and all the interesting and fascinating bits that you will learn about the place. The building was constructed in 1590 for Sir Peter Buck and is Grade I listed. It was used as a bording school from 1791 for about 100 years. In 1897, it was bought by the Rochester Corporation and transformed in a museum dedicated to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. This house was used mentioned by Charles Dickens in two of his writings. Next to this house, in 1961, Dicken's chalet was moved here, and you can visit it for free(only the outside of it).
