Description

Faversham er en markedsby og civil parish i Swale-distriktet i Kent, England, Det Forenede Kongerige. Byen ligger 48 miles fra London og 10 miles fra Canterbury, og ligger ved Swale, en søstræk, der adskiller fastlandet Kent fra Isle of Sheppey i Thames Estuary. Det er tæt på A2, som følger en gammel britisk vej, der blev brugt af romerne og anglosakserne, og kendt som Watling Street. Navnet Faversham er af latinsk oprindelse via gammelengelsk, hvilket betyder "metalarbejderens landsby".

Der har været en bosættelse i Faversham siden før-romersk tid, ved den gamle havn på Faversham Creek. Det var beboet af sakserne og nævnt i Domesday-bogen som Favreshant. Byen var populær blandt kong Stephen, som etablerede Faversham Abbey, som overlevede indtil opløsningen af klostrene i 1538. Senere blev byen en vigtig havn og etablerede sig som et center for brygning, og Shepherd Neame Bryghuset, grundlagt i 1698, forbliver en betydelig stor arbejdsgiver.
