  • Faversham Conservation Area Character Appraisal (Extract from Report to Planning Committee 9 September 2004 (Agenda Item 1.1, Annex B.)
    Faversham conservation area character appraisal (Extract from report to Planning Committee 9 September 2004 (Agenda item 1.1, Annex B.) Chapter 1: General Introduction Location and geology 1.1. Faversham is situated towards the eastern end of the Borough of Swale at the head of a narrow tidal creek flowing north into The Swale waterway. The town of Sittingbourne lies some 11 kilometres to the west, whilst Canterbury lies some 14.5 kilometres to the south east. At Faversham low interfluves of Thanet Sands with brickearth are separated by shallow valleys that have been cut down through the chalk. The town centre is sited on a ridge of chalk overlain with brickearth; it then extends west into a valley where springs emerging from the chalk feed into the creek. To the south of the town is the gently rising dip slope of the North Downs, whilst the extensive alluvial flats of the Swale marshes lie to the north. History 1.2. From a very early date the small, but navigable, waterway made the higher ground at its southern end an ideal place for settlement which, the evidence suggests, happened in pre- Roman times. Archaeological finds have confirmed that later, in Roman times, a small roadside settlement existed at Ospringe and that a series of villa estates prospered in the agricultural lands between Watling Street and the Swale. However, firm proof of a settlement on the site of the present town centre has yet to emerge. 1.3. During Saxon times, from the C6 at least, Faversham appears to have been a royal estate centre, perhaps of comparable status with Milton Regis to the west.

  • A Plan and Architectural Description of the Medieval Remains of Davington Priory
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society A PLAN AND ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MEDIEVAL REMAINS OF DAVINGTON PRIORY P. J. TESTER, F.S.A. 'It is not to the credit of Kent archaeologists that this notable house is without historical plan and an adequate description, as much of the nunnery survives. The greater part of the early church is roofed and used for services, and the cloister and some of the surrounding buildings can be traced. A very little research would probably reveal much more, including the form of the east end of the church.' This was written in 1954 concerning Davington Priory by the late F. C. Elliston-Erwood in a contribution to volume lix of The South Eastern Naturalist and Antiquary on the subject of'The present State of Monastic Archaeology in Kent'. The present article is an attempt to remove this reproach, and is also intended to record the results of some excavations carried out in 1977.*• Almost all that remains above ground of the Priory founded for Benedictine nuns by Fulc de Newenham in 1153 is the twelfth- century nave with the attached west range now occupied as a private dwelling. In 1845 the place was acquired by the noted antiquary and artist, Thomas Willement, who set about restoring the church and house with typical Victorian thoroughness. Fortunately, he left notes and drawings describing the buildings before his re-ordering of the interior, and these are of value in attempting to make out the architectural development.
