Godmersham Park Heritage Centre
Godmersham Park Heritage Centre holds information and artefacts relating to the parishes of Godmersham and Crundale, as well as the Godmersham Park Estate. A small exhibition hall documents the history of the two villages and Godmersham Park.
The House was built in 1732 and was once the home of Edward Knight, brother to the novelist Jane Austen. The Heritage Centre provides information on its interesting past.
