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.

Pearly Kings And Queens
To celebrate the end of term and 20 years of Angela's work with The Friendly Dog Club, Tuesday morning's class strutted their stuff as Pearly Kings and Queens. Apart from Big Ben falling over, all dogs and owners were very well behaved and beautifully attired. A good cockney singsong and great fun was had by all.
Experience Faversham
Share our experience of a visit to Faversham archetypal England, ancient gabled buildings nestling along the slowly lapping waters of the creek, the aroma of hops and a charter market to browse. This is the real thing, Kent as it was and still is, preserved yet lived in, cherished yet authentic, tranquil yet vibrant and creative, a place with every historic nuance you could wish for along with contemporary comforts you crave. Faversham is a proud town and very ‘original’ since 811 AD, with plenty of tradition, quality, passion and authenticity with the best local produce at the heart of the many flavours of Faversham.

Pearly Kings and Queens Harvest Festival
Dressed in their best dark suits covered in hundreds of bright pearl buttons, the Pearly Kings and Queens of London are a charming and unforgettable sight. Getting together for the biggest event in the Pearly calendar, they celebrate the bounty of the autumn harvest.
Inspired by the Costermongers, a close-knit group of market traders who looked after one another and were recognisable by buttons sewed onto their garments, Henry went out on the streets to collect money for charity, wearing a suit covered in pearl buttons to attract attention. When demand for his help became too much, Henry asked the Costermongers for assistance, many of whom became the first Pearly families.
Running through the family, the tradition continues to this day: Croft's great-granddaughter is the Pearly Queen of Somers Town, and many Pearly Kings and Queens are carrying on Henry Croft's charitable aims to this day.

It is directed by John Ramster with musical direction by Stephen Hose and is for 12 singers (3 per part) and organ. Inspired by the universal story of birth, death and resurrection this production of Handel's Messiah offers an intimate and personal insight to the meditations of 12 strangers as they question their faith.

Transcript:
I'm Doreen, I'm Pearly Queen of Old Kent Road. That's my late husband's title, born South of the River, and I am by my own right a Pearly Queen of Bow Bells.
-Would you tell me a little bit about the, err, the pictures?
Oh right, well the famous wall of pictures really started just from the one photograph. You can only just see my profile there. The Duke of Edinburgh with my late husband, Ian McKellen, Michael Caine at a variety club event, Elton John's birthday party. It was absolutely terrific. I did leave the Pearly King tapdancing with Kate Moss. I think the last thing they were doing was tapdancing and singing to I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.
*Britons never ever ever will be slaves*
Right so that's err This Morning, isn't it, This Morning the programme. Invited in the morning and it was, they were interviewing a gentleman who all his life had been alergic to buttons. So they had a psychiatrist talk to this man for half an hour and he was miraculously cured. He seemed to be fine in fact the first thing he wanted to do was wear the Pearly King's hat.
*ringing*
Yes Chris. I've got a young man here taking some photos, so he's going to come with us to Cheshire Street and photograph us all, and if he behaves himself he can have a salt beef beigel. All right see you half ten. Okay, bye!
Hello dear!
And actually there was no traffic today.
-Hello Ladies
Ladies and gentlemen, the man over there has come with me today... these are all my kings, I have to ay sicne my king passed away and the other gentleman there is quite poorly now, so I have a selection of kings.
It's very hard thing for people to understand that we don't earn any money out of it, that we do it because we want to put something back into the community. And it is nice to put your buttons on as we say, put on our work uniform, go out...
-Take your time girl we don't mind!
...and know that we are the original cockney Londoners... and nice to be with our friends as well and doing a good job at the same time.
