Faversham is a market town and civil parish in the Swale district of Kent, England. The town of Faversham is 48 miles from London and 10 miles from Canterbury and lies next to the Swale, a strip of sea separating mainland Kent from the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. Faversham is close to the A2, which follows an ancient British trackway which was used by the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, and known as Watling Street. The Faversham name is of Latin via Old English origin, meaning the metal-worker's village.
There has been a settlement at Faversham since pre-Roman times, next to the ancient sea port on Faversham Creek, and archaeological evidence has shown a Roman theatre was based in the town. It was inhabited by the Saxons and mentioned in the Domesday book as Favreshant. The town was favoured by King Stephen who established Faversham Abbey, which survived until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. Subsequently, the town became an important seaport and established itself as a centre for brewing, and the Shepherd Neame Brewery, founded in 1698, remains a significant major employer.
The town was also the centre of the explosives industry between the 17th and early 20th century, before a decline following an accident in 1916 which killed over 100 workers. This coincided with a revival of the shipping industry in the town. Faversham has a number of landmarks, with several historic churches including St Mary of Charity, Faversham Parish Church, the Maison Dieu and Faversham Recreation Ground. Faversham Market has been established for over 900 years and is still based in the town centre. There are good road and rail links, including a Southeastern service to the High Speed 1 line at Ebbsfleet International and London.
Faversham is roughly equidistant between Sittingbourne and Canterbury. It lies 48 miles (77 km) east of London, 18 miles (29 km) east north east of Maidstone and 13 miles (21 km) from Ashford. Nearby villages include Oare across Oare Creek to the north, Luddenham, Mockbeggar and Ospringe. Geographically, Faversham sits at a boundary between marshland to the north and a mixture of brick earth, gravel and chalk to the south which leads into the North Downs.
Arden of Feversham is a play about the murder of Thomas Arden written around 1590, possibly by William Shakespeare or Christopher Marlowe. The Faversham Society was established in 1962, and is one of the oldest Civic Societies in the UK. Faversham Recreation Ground (locally known simply as Faversham Rec) is to the east of the town centre.
Faversham Stone Chapel (in Norton, Buckland and Stone) is the remains of the Church of Our Lady of Elwarton. Although Faversham Abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII the nearby St Mary of Charity, Faversham Parish Church remains, and has been a Grade I listed building since 1950. St Catherine's Church dates from the Norman period and was extensively restored in the 1860s. Faversham Cottage Hospital opened in 1887. It was extended in 1922 and included a World War I memorial, which was unveiled by Vice Admiral Hugh Evan-Thomas. Faversham Cemetery opened in 1898.
Faversham is close to the A2 road, a historically important route from London to Canterbury and the Channel ports. Faversham railway station opened in 1858. A former goods sheet built as part of the original railway works is now Grade I listed.

For Sale: 3834 Faversham, University Heights OH
Classic architecture includes built-ins, hardwood floors, arched doorways, and 2 fireplaces. Every window is new and great at conserving energy! Updated kitchen, including full-overlay maple cabinets, Pergo floors, and bright eat-in breakfast nook. All appliances stay, including brand new fridge. We remodeled and extended the full bath on second floor (large shower/tub, double vanity, new tile)! The newly-carpeted lower level rec room has a gas fireplace and large glass block windows. It's awesome to go down there and get away from the family chaos upstairs (man cave!). The third floor is like a hotel suite with its own large bedroom and full bath. Out of town guests and overnight visitors can just unpack up there and have their own private space. The 2-car garage has been re-built and has tons of shelf and lofted storage so you don't have to jam all your stuff in the basement.
If that's not enough, this has got to be the most social block in UH. Neighbors hang out up front and have a beer or two in the front yard, we close the street a couple times/summer for block parties, people walk up to Whole Foods once/week for the wine tasting nights, there are progressive dinners, drive-in movie nights for kids...all just because the people are good-natured and want to have a fun! You can't get this on just any block in UH. It's happening here on Faversham. (We even have our own Facebook group page!)
The 2010 Faversham 10km Run
A well organised 10km run in North Kent, check out their website at faversham10k.co.uk if you fancy entering next year. They claim it's an undulating course but, as you'll see in the film, it's not so bad, with only two gentle uphills and one beast of a downhill. There are two water stations and a few cheers from bystanders as you work your way round. Filmed by Dave Wise of trekandrun.com. The TrekandRun Team are kitted out by New Balance - newbalance.com. It's great kit, Dave put his on - shirt, shorts and trainers - for this race brand new and it didn't rub or cause any bad effects, and it felt dry even at the end. For a host of other kit reviews and accounts of races worldwide, including more sport and travel films, see trekandrun.com
