Chatham is a market town and parish in the north division of the lathe of Aylesford and hundred of Chatham and Gillingham and partly within the jurisdiction of the City of Rochester – 30 miles E by S from London and 8 north from Maidstone; situated along the southeast bank of the Medway, and to the east of Rochester. Until it as chosen as the seat of one of the principal naval arsenals in the kingdom, Chatham was but an inconsiderable village; and although many improvements have been effected, the town at the present day is irregularly built. Some years since a number of dwellings were destroyed by a conflagration and their site  (Hamond place), is now occupied by some elegant houses and shops. The arsenals, store houses and dock yard, which cover a space of ground exceeding three fourths of a mile in length, defended on the land side by strong fortifications, presents a scene of magnificence and national unity that strikes at once wonder and admiration into the mind of every stranger. The store houses are of great magnitude; one is two hundred and twenty yards in length – the sail loft is upwards of two hundred and ten feet long; the mast house is two hundred and forty feet in length and one hundred and twenty feet wide; and the new rope house is more than a thousand feet in length. The smiths shop, where the largest anchors are forged – the saw mills, propelled by steam power – the armoury, the ordnance wharf, &c. are all upon the most extensive and efficient scale. This stupendous establishment, though apparently so complete and perfect in all parts, is unceasingly receiving improvements. Ship building and repairing, the making of cordage and the preparation of other materials for the equipment of vessels, employ a vast number of hands when the kingdom assumes a hostile position. The barracks here are also extensive and are most eligibly situated; from the advantageous eminence on which they stand, a wide luxuriant and grateful prospect is commanded. During the formation of the extensive fortifications called “The Lines”, numerous relics of the Romans were discovered in the neighbourhood: Captain Douglas of the engineer company at that period opened no less than one hundred graves; and skeletons of both sexes where exhumed, together with ancient implements of war, beads &c. The municipal government is vested in the divisional county magistrates; and at the court leet of the lord of the manor, H SPRAT esq., a high constable, and five borseholders to assist him, are annually chosen. A court of requests is held in Rochester, to which Chatham contributes twelve commissioners. The reform bill conferred upon this town the privilege of sending one member to Parliament; The Right Hon. George Stevens BYNG is the present representative.

 

The places of worship are, the parish church of St Mary; a new church, erected out of the fund at the disposal of the parliamentary commissioners, completed in 1821 at an expense of nearly £15,000; and chapels for baptists, independents and Wesleyan methodists and unitarians. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the presentation of the dean and chapter of Rochester. For the instruction of boys in the classics and modern languages there is a seminary supported by subscribers, but it does not come under the denomination of a free school; and there is a school upon the national plan. At a short distance from Chatham is “Melville” or the “Marine” hospital, erected in 1827-8 at an expense of £7,000; it contains apartments for the accommodation of three hundred and forty patients, who as its name implies must be attached to the navy. In an hospital founded by Sir John HAWKINS, twelve indigent or decayed shipwrights and mariners are supplied with coals and candles and a weekly sum of money. There are two subscription libraries – one the United Service the other the Marine library. The market day is Saturday; fairs were formerly held in May and September but they have entirely fallen into disuse. In 1831 the parish of Chatham contained (exclusive of those within the jurisdiction of Rochester, in number 505), a population of 16,485 inhabitants, besides 945 convicts (at that time), on board the hulks.

 

Situated a little distance NE of Chatham are the two villages of Brompton and Gillingham. The first named is a hamlet in the parish of Gillingham and lies at the extremity of the parish, on the brow of a hill that overlooks the Royal dock yard at Chatham and within the fortifications called the Lines. The inhabitants of both villages are persons principally employed on the fortifications, in the dock yard and in other avocations connected with the naval service. The church at Gillingham is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, is a spacious structure, with a chapel on each side of the chancel exhibiting architecture of the Norman style; the church contains some monuments of early date and a very capacious font of high antiquity; the benefice is a vicarage, in the patronage of the principal and fellows of Brazenose college, Oxford. There are some charitable bequests to the parish and a national school. At Brompton is a place of worship for Wesleyan methodists. The parish of Gillingham contained in 1831, 6764 inhabitants.
