Faversham Abbey was founded here by King Stephen and was demolished after the Dissolution of the Monasteries when the King's bones were thrown into the nearby Faversham Creek. Part of the wall survives near here which is on the site of the Abbey. A very detailed account of the Abbey with pictures and maps can be seen at https://www.faversham.org/history/buildings/abbey
