Faversham is know
and recorded to be the most Haunted Town in Kent, with over 180 sightings per
year it ranks as high as Derby or Exeter for spooky apparitions. A tour of this
ancient market town is available to groups of 15 people or more. I you fancy

It has also been since the 1990's the home to one Sir Bob Geldof, and many less
famous folk.
Faversham has attracted
its fair share of historians - and no wonder! Its past has been eventful and
varied; it has always been close to the centre of the national stage; it has
been keeping its own records since the 13th century; and its rich historic
fabric constitutes a source just as informative (to those who can 'read' it) as
documentary records.

For early settlers its site was enviable - on superb soil at the
head of a navigable creek; with quick and easy access to mainland Europe; with
pure spring water readily available; and a dry, temperate climate perfect for
grazing, forestry and the growth of basic crops like wheat, barley and fruit.
When the first settlers arrived we don't know, but by late
prehistoric times Belgic farmers - immigrants from nearby Europe - were
prospering in the area, one of them with his home close to present-day Abbey
Farm.
