    Very well put together museum. Excellent layout and artefacts. Shop has some beautiful and interesting things to buy. Highly recommended. Do consider tracing your family through the museum if you know or suspect a Huguenot connection.

    Brilliant museum covering a subject that might not immediately spring to mind as being connected to Rochester. I undertook the opening 'ceremony' of the museum live on BBC RADIO KENT as part of the Breakfast Show

    Could have been amazing but was the biggest waste of five pounds fifty ever. Family search unavailable, nothing much original, both ladies on pay desk absolutely hopeless, no customer service skills whatsoever. Don't bother! There's nothing here you can't find for free on Google.

    A small but interesting museum, covering the history of the huguenots in England and the impact they've had here.

    A real find! A really nicely organised, small museum that tells the story of the Huguenots in a clear and engaging way. It really brought to life the story of this community for me. A real plus here were the staff - well informed, welcoming and full of enthusiasm for their subject.

    Interesting visit, especially if you have Huguenot connections. Had some amazing artifacts to look at, beautifully made. Enjoyed the town as well.

    I have given 5 stars in support but sadly it was closed when I tried to visit yesterday. I do hope funds allow it to open again soon.

    A quaint and specialised museum with some rather unique items on display set above the tourist office. I say it's small but you have a lot to take in within a small space so it's worth a look.
