Faversham is a market town, seaport and parish, having separate jurisdiction, in the lathe of Scray and hundred to which it gives its name – 47 miles east from London and nine west from Canterbury; eligibly situated on the main road between these two cities, and on a branch of the river Swale. It consists principally of four good streets, containing many handsome houses, a convenient well built town hall and some excellent inns; among the latter may be particularised the “Dolphin” and the “Sun” houses high in the estimation of commercial travellers. Within the last twenty years the town has received material improvement, and in a particular quarter of it, “the Brents” an accession of numerous dwellings forming quite a little town, chiefly inhabited by oyster dredgers; the lighting of the streets with gas has been in operation a considerable time. Faversham has long been celebrated for its manufacture of gunpowder, which is carried on to an amazing extent; and the present proprietors, who lately purchased the entire of the government works, are continually adding to their already extensive premises. A dreadful explosion took place in 1781, by the ignition of 7000 pounds weight of powder, when the corning mill and the dusting house of the then royal works were blown to atoms, and a number of workmen lost their lives; the report was heard at a distance of twenty miles and the town and adjacent villages suffered severely by the shock, having the roofs of the houses wholly or in part destroyed, with all the glass and much furniture; the government munificently for the families of the sufferers by this calamitous occurrence. Roman cement is the only other manufacture of any consequence; but the exports and imports of the place are of some importance; the former consist of corn, hops, fruit, wool and other produce, conveyed by water to the metropolis; the latter of timber, iron, coals, tar &c. The oyster fishery is of material benefit to the inhabitants and many hands are employed in shipbuilding. This town has been, from an early period, a member of the harbour of Dover as one of the cinque ports, and consequently is possessed of many valuable privileges. It obtained its first charter from Henry III, in which its freeman are styled “barons”; but the one under which its municipal affairs were conducted prior to 1835, was granted by Henry VIII. By the act passed in the year just mentioned the corporation was formed of a mayor, four aldermen (or jurats), and twelve councillors, with the usual assistant officers, and was styled “ the mayor, jurats and commonality of the town of Faversham”. Sessions are held quarterly; there are likewise a court of requests for the recovery of debts under 40s. and manorial courts under the jurisdiction of Lord Sondes. The church dedicated to St Mary, is a venerable pile, perfectly neat and commodious, with a light and very elegant spire, erected in 1755, when part of the church was rebuilt; the foundation of the hallowed structure is of remote date – certainly previous to the Norman invasion, for it was first annexed by the first William to the abbey of St Augustine in Canterbury. The benefice is a discharged vicarage, in the patronage of the dean and chapter of Canterbury, and present incumbency of the Rev John BIRT (DD). Baptists, independents and Wesleyan methodists have their respective places pf worships. The charities comprise a free grammar school, founded by Dr COLE in the 18th year of Henry VIII; a national school and several sets of well supported almshouses. Faversham confers the title baron on the family of DUNCOMBE. Wednesday and Saturday are market days, when there is an abundant supply of all kinds of provisions and other marketable commodities; a charter exists for holding fairs on the 25th of February and 12th of August, but of late years they have been unattended. The town, liberties, and parish collectively contained in 1831, 4429 inhabitants.

 

A short distance to the south of Faversham is the parish of Preston. The interior of the church here well merits a visit from the stranger arriving at Faversham, as containing a sumptuous altar tomb, of black and white marble, to the memory of Roger BOYLE Esq., and Joan his wife, ancestors of the Earls of Cork; there are also some monumental brasses of the fifteenth century. The church dedicated to St Catherine, is chiefly in the early English style of architecture, with a tower and spire; the benefice is a discharged vicarage, in the presentation of the see of Canterbury. In 1831 the population of the parish amounted to 673 persons.

 

One mile and a half north from Faversham is the small village of Oare; the parish bearing the same name, is bounded on the north east by the Swale, over which there is a ferry to Harty Island. The church is dedicated to St Peter; the living is a perpetual curacy, in the same patronage as that of Preston. Population 176.

 

Three miles SE by E from Faversham, in the parish and hundred of Boughton-under-Blean and lathe of Scray, is the village of Boughton. Its church dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, contains some curious monuments amongst which one of brass merits particular notice; the village possesses little else worthy of mention. Boughton Hill, not quite a mile from the village commands one of the most extensive prospects in the kingdom. A pleasure fair is held on the fist Monday after St Peters day. The parish contained at the last census a population of 1300 residents.

 

Situated on the main road from London to Canterbury one mile west from Faversham and in the same hundred is Ospringe liberty and parish, possessed of independent franchise and governed by its own constable. The “Lion” hotel in this village is a first rate posting and commercial house. The church dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, is in the early English style of architecture; the benefice is a vicarage in the gift of the master and fellows of St Johns College, Cambridge. A fair is held on the 25th May, chiefly for pleasure. Population of the liberty and parish in 1831, 1087
