Built on the site of a previous 16th
century gateway, this stone/flint archway was built in 1862, during the ongoing
Victorian restoration of St Mary of Charity Church, a medieval church that was
within what had been the precincts of Faversham Abbey, founded in 1147 by King
Stephen. Greatly altered and enlarged in the Victorian period, it is now one of
the largest churches in Kent.
