About Ashford Borough Museum

Ashford Museum is housed in a 17th century Grade II listed building, the museum is located close to Ashford town centre and features exhibits associated with Ashford's history.

Brief History
Ashford Museum is housed in the building which was originally designed and built by Sir Norton Knatchbull in 1635 for the newly formed Ashford Grammar School. It has been restored but many of the original features both outside and inside remain.

The building itself is historic, and is one of the best examples of a 17th century schoolhouse in the UK. It was designed and built in 1635 by Sir Norton Knatchbull to house Ashford Grammar School. The building still has original graffiti on the wainscoting from the children who attended the school, and niches where their books were placed. The Headmaster's and Usher's seats can also be seen at the museum.
