Faversham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1032 words) |
 | Faversham is a town in Kent, England, in the district of Swale. |
| Established as a settlement before the Roman conquest, Faversham was held in royal demesne in 811, and is further cited in a charter granted by Kenulf, the King of Mercia. |
| In the year 1147 an abbey was established near Faversham by King Stephen, whom along with his son, Eustace, the Earl of Boulogne and Matilda of Boulogne, his consort, was later buried, thus acquiring a special status as one of only a few churches outside London where an English king was buried. |
