A half-timbered building situated on the banks of the River Stour. The Old Weavers' House takes it's name from the Flemish and Hugenot weavers who fled religious persecution from their native countries, settling in Canterbury during the 16th and 17th centuries. Elizabeth I, granted the weavers amnesty in Canterbury and allowed them to set up business. Despite what the sign proclaims above the front door, historians date parts of this building to the 14th c.
