In 1855 Thomas Charles, a local doctor and antiquarian, left his collections of art and antiquities to Maidstone Borough Council.〔 The Council acquired Charles’s house, Chillington Manor,〔(Maidstone Museum website: What's in the museum page. )〕〔For a history of the old manor see: Ditchfield, P. H. & Clinch, G. ''(Memorials of old Kent )'' (Bemrose & Sons, 1907), pp 253-263.〕 from his executors and in 1858 opened it as the Charles Museum, later renamed Maidstone Museum. The Museum was one of the first to be opened as a result of the Museums Act (1845) and was a founder member of the Museums Association (1909). Maidstone Museum celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008.
