Save Canterbury Heritage Museum

As a historian and educator at the University of Kent, and as a parent, I hugely value the Canterbury Heritage Museum.

Canterbury Heritage Museum has to be preserved, nurtured and supported. An internationally recognised historical place such as Canterbury that has been a magnet and destination for pilgrims and visitors for centuries, cannot possibly be without a museum. It is essential for Canterbury's future status and meaningful development because any regeneration of this historical city cannot be successfully maintained without its Heritage Museum. The role and importance is not only local, regional and national but international and global.

I'm signing this not because I have any connection to the area, but because I worked in a similar museum, and I know the value of such places.

Why should a historically important city loose its point of reference and loose its hub of historical information, I'm disgusted that the council could think of this.

Rare treasures are becoming rarer!!!

The museum is wonderful, we love to visit when we are in Canterbury it is a great learning place. Kids love it.

It is vital the the museum is not only kept open but regenerated to encourage more visitors to maintain and raise awareness of our heritage.

Please keep this museum open!

Please save!!

Whatever it takes, save this piece of antiquity! Please!!!

As a genealogist who holds a history degree, I urge you to keep this archive open! Thank you.

I visited this wonderful museum in 2015. Please keep it open and the exhibits intact.

Please fund the Canterbury Heritage Museum. We need to keep places like this open and available to teach our children and grandchildren about their history.

Don't close the museum.

Surely this treasure can be saved.

Please save the Historical Museum!!

vitally important for our children to be able to have all this wonderful history around them.

Please do not close this wonderful museum. My 4-year-old grandson lives in Canterbury and I would hate to think that he would be denied the chance of learning about his city's history and heritage through the museum collections.

I believe in keeping History for the future... our past is what made us who were are today!

I think in a town so rich in cultural history it would be a shame to lose a place to learn about said history.
