Birchington Heritage Trust

Birchington Heritage Trust Birchington Heritage Trust aim to research, discover and record Birchington's 3,500 years of history. We're really excited to hear about all things Birchington.

The Birchington Heritage Trust was established in May 2002 and was granted Charity status in August 2003. Since then, we have established a small local museum and archive room at the Village Centre, where our lovely volunteers encourage visitors to call in and explore the treasures within. We are proud to hold and be able to share written information on almost every topic connected with Birchingto

n, as well as offering copying and photo printing facilities. Please feel free to pop in, take a look around and if you have any Birchington stories to share, we would love to hear all about them. In the mean time, please start sharing any comments, your memories, photos, or stories with us via this page. Located in the Burley Gallery in Birchington Library, we are open normal library opening hours for viewing, with stewards on duty to assist with research facilities Monday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.

This is just a reminder that our next talk is this Thursday - 28th May - when we will be delighted to welcome Tim Horne, Listed Buildings Adviser with Historic England.

Tim will present a fascinating talk about the buildings, places and landscapes that shape our communities and local history. He will explain how historic buildings and sites are chosen for protection, how this process has developed over time, and why it matters today. Using examples from Thanet as well as projects from across the country, he will show how listing helps celebrate local heritage and how anyone can put a building forward for consideration.

This is an event for anyone interested in the stories behind familiar places and how we can all play a part in protecting them for future generations.

The meeting is at 7.30pm, The Centre, Alpha Road, Birchington CT7 9E

The bar will be open.

Please bring along friends and family - the talk is free to Trust Members and we ask guests to make a donation.
