Faversham’s Plaques go On-Line

Did you know where in Faversham James II was briefly imprisoned in 1688? Or where the pioneer of rose-planting in Assisi once lived? Or where one of the early American steamships grew up? If not, take a look at the Faversham website, www.faversham.org. The website trust and the Faversham Society have just completed a joint project whereby you can now view all the town's commemorative wall plaques on-line.

The updated page on the website makes it easy to find the plaque you want, of which there are over 60. Using the menu's provided on the page, you can find a particular plaque either by place, person or street, or by using the interactive map. You can then read the plaque, view where it is and see what else is located. There are also links to detailed information on the website.

The presentation of the plaques on-line and the interactive map complement a free-of-charge glossy leaflet, sponsored by Faversham Town Council and others and available from the Tourist Information Centre in Preston Street.

View the plaques on-line by going to www.faversham.org/history/plaques and then to 'Commemorative Wall Plaques'.
