Faversham Timeline

Faversham’s evolution has been dictated by its climate, soils, natural resources, crops, Creek, and community spirit. Dates are approximate

We sell a pocket-sized booklet Faversham, A Brief History and a fascinating book detailing the History of Faversham in 60 Objects. Both contain much more detail, fascinating maps and a selection of unique historic photos from the Faversham Society’s extensive collection.

They cover the evolution of our beautiful town from the earliest times up to the present day and are both available to purchase from our online store. Store - The Faversham Society
