Statue of Princess Pocahontas, Gravesend
Princess Pocahontas (1595-1617) was a native American Indian who married John Rolfe and became a celebrity in London, presented to King James. She is buried in St. George's church. The statue stands in the church grounds west of the church. Her family tree can be viewed in the church and it includes the wife of Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the USA.

Pocahontas Monument at Gravesend
Pocahontas (or Mrs Rebecca Rolfe as she became when she married her husband) came to England with him and their son in 1616. When they set out to return in March 1617, she and her son were ill (possibly smallpox or tuberculosis .. or pneumonia) and the ship put her off at Gravesend. It is not clear whether she was already dead but her son Thomas survived. She was buried, possibly in the chancel of the church which previously stood on this ground, now St George's church. Rolfe left his son in the care of friends (it is said, in Plymouth) and never saw him again; he returned to America and remarried. Pocahontas's son Thomas sailed for America when he was 20 to inherit his father's estates. He lived and was accepted as an Englishman and even helped to put down an Indian uprising in 1644 – effectively destroying the world in which his mother had been raised. Many Americans now proudly claim descent from Pocahontas.
