Heritage Members

Our Heritage Members are special volunteers at the Amherst Heritage Centre who help research and publish papers in support of the Centre's Education programme and the wider community.



Upper Cornwallis Battery"Heritage Member John Lambert volunteered to write up the Fort Amherst War Diary for the Amherst Heritage Centre.   The War Diary records the daily incidents of the Medway Towns through the war years and records the number of bombs dropped, fires, broken gas mains and other emergencies dealt with by the people working within the Fort Amherst tunnels between 1940 and 1945."

"The Amherst Heritage Centre offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere for anyone who is considering volunteering in the community"

Printing of these research papers is supported by funding from the National Lottery and will be of great interest to our future school visitors and the public.
