This is one of a number of gargoyles to
be found on the church of St Mary of Charity. This particular gargoyle, located
on the north side of the church, removes water from a flat roof area, some 15
feet or so from the ground and can be viewed at close quarters.
A church of some description has been on this site since the formation of
Faversham Abbey in 1147 by King Stephen, albeit the current church was a
medieval one extensively enlarged and altered during the Victorian period, so
much so it is one of the largest churches in Kent.
