Minster Gatehouse is run by volunteer members of the Sheppey Local History Society, of all ages and backgrounds with different roles within the Gatehouse. Their main aim is to make your visit as trouble free, enjoyable and informative as possible. Without them, the museum wouldn’t be able to run. We are passionate about the preservation of the history and the various artefacts in the Gatehouse, and are happy to help with any questions you may have.
