About St Mary of Charity Church

The parish church of Faversham is Grade I listed, a cruciform building from the 14th and 15th centuries. George Dance rebuilt the nave interior in classical style in 1755, and the openwork spire was added in 1797 and later encased in stone. It is open for prayer and visiting, though it may close occasionally for events. No admission charge is stated.
