Our latest addition at the Museum are the last tiles made at Frittenden brickworks by Charlie Morphett. They have a wonderful story recalled on The Repair Shop Having been spotted by pure chance at a local farm sale by Charlie’s grand-daughters, Dee and Lynn, they were rescued and the crumbled tiles were miraculously repaired by a Repair Shop craftsman. They have now been donated to us by the family so you can see them and appreciate the extraordinary skill which went into their restoration. Tuesdays-Sundays + bank holiday during August. The Amelia Scott Wellbeing in the Weald Kent High Weald Partnership
