Queenborough Guild hall

The Guild hall built in 1793 and replaced the original one that stood in the middle of the High Street. It contains a museum which tells the story of the town - the name originates from Edward III wife, Queen Phillippa. On Edward III’s orders a Castle was built (1360 -1368) on ground overlooking the Swale so that it commanded the old shipping route from the cost into the Thames. The king gave the castle to his wife,– hence the name of Queenborough.
