centre with interpretative displays about the households and lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury who lived here. Other buildings in the church and palace riverside group include some remaining fragments of the college of priests, chiefly the gatehouse and the master's house, the Archbishop's stables and the little palace gatehouse. This last was probably originally a millhouse at the confluence of the river Medway and its tributary the River Len. It became the gatehouse to the palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury during the 14th century. It is now used as the tourist information centre. Another famous Maidstone building is the Museum in St Faith's Street. This was Chillington Manor House, a former home of the Wyatts. It is a splendid red brick 16th-century house with magnificent Tudor chimneys and an early Tudor long gallery. The central portion of the house was built during Elizabethan times by Nicholas Barham, Maidstone's first MP.
