Blue Plaque for Kennaway House!

Thu, 25 Apr 2019 11:59:33 GMT

Kennaway House is part of Historic Sidmouth's Blue Plaque Collection

Our lovely new Blue Plaque adds Kennaway House to a nationwide collection of notable buildings, and to Sidmouth's 32 historic buildings with the instantly recognisable sapphire oval on their walls. Kennaway House, first Fort House, and then Church House, was named by local vote in 2009, as part of the huge renovation project, partly funded by the Heritage Lottery. Kennaway House was restored to its red brick, Regency elegance, sitting alongside the beautiful Fortfield Terrace and historic Coburg Road, and continues to serve as a centre for arts, culture, learning and community events.
To learn more about the House, go to the History page. To find out about upcoming events and classes, head to the What's On page.

Come and have a look a our new Plaque, and Aurora House's too! Aurora was built as part of Fort House (Kennaway House) in 1805, but became a separate residence in 1906. JRR Tolkien used it as a summer holiday home, and wrote part of Lord of the Rings there!

Thank you to Sid Vale Association, and thank you all the Friends of Kennaway House who, by pledging their support, make Kennaway House the vibrant community building it is today. For more information on becoming a Friend, please visit our 'Support Us' page.

Check out the Sid Vale Association's 'Blue Plaque Walk around the Town' for a wander through Sidmouth's fascinating history.
