About Faversham Abbey

Religion, Monasteries, Interesting Places

Faversham Abbey was a Cluniac style monastery immediately to the north-east of the town of Faversham, in Kent, England.

It was founded by King Stephen and his wife Matilda of Boulogne in 1148. A party of monks from Bermondsey Abbey provided the nucleus and the first abbot.

At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Sir Thomas Cheney assigned the abbey to Thomas Arden and it was considerably destroyed in 1538. Thereafter the site of the abbey came into the possession of the Sondes family and now lies within the grounds of Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School.
