With nearly 500 listed buildings, Faversham is one of the most attractive and interesting towns in southern England. Probably the best-known view is of the Guildhall, seen here. Faversham's market has existed since at least Domesday; it is the oldest in Kent. Its focus is the Guildhall which has wooden Elizabethan pillars from c.1574 but the upper floor had to be rebuilt in 1814 after a fire when an apprentice party got out of hand. The shop beyond the Guildhall was clearly formerly a chemist as can be seen by the pestle and mortar over the door. It is now a wool shop.
