Dickens House Museum

This beautiful property was once home to Miss Mary Pearson Strong, on whom Charles Dickens based much of the character of Miss Betsey Trotwood in his novel David Copperfield; this building has been adapted as a museum to commemorate the novelist's association with the town of Broadstairs.

Some of the author's own letters and memorabilia are on display in the museum and around the house there are fascinating old prints of local and Dickensian interest as well as costumes and Victoriana. Guided tours are available and there is an education/study area.

The Museum is an ideal destination for school groups and those with a keen interest in the classic novelist.
