A tin chapel
In fact it is a church, St. Saviour's, and grade II listed as an unusually elaborate and complete survival of the type. Built in 1885. A prefabricated tin church of elaborate design built as one of two mission churches under the auspices of the Parish Church of St Mary of Charity. It does not appear to be used as a church now.

Tin church, Whitstable Road, Faversham
This was, originally, St. Saviour's Church, built in 1886. The 19th century saw a rapid growth in urban population, resulting in a widespread call for new churches and chapels, often referred to as ‘tin tabernacles’. They were designed and made in kit form, to be bought from illustrated catalogues. Timber framed and externally clad with galvanised corrugated iron, the ‘flat pack’ churches were easy to erect and transport, and were light, strong and relatively inexpensive compared to conventional building materials. The church was de-consecrated in 1951 and has been put to various uses, including a joinery shop, a gymnasium and a private house. In 2018 it became The Hot Tin, a cafe, bar, music and arts venue. Cyprus Road is on the right.
