Welcome to Small Hythe

Small Hythe is a charming village located in the district of Ashford, Kent. The village is situated on the banks of the River Rother and is known for its picturesque countryside and historic buildings.

The house is now a museum and is open to the public, showcasing a collection of costumes, photographs, and other memorabilia from Terry's life and career.
