I have lived in Faversham for over 50 years but never until now looked at this place. It’s an interesting place to visit and free to look. There is no dedicated car parking but it’s easy to find somewhere local to stop.

We stomped across the field from the road adjoining the A2. There is not a lot left now but you can imagine this being a focal point for travellers for a long time. There seems to be possibly a bit of roman brick amongst the stones . There have been some Roman archaeology finds close to this spot.If you stand back and look at the May of the land there obviously was the A2 but if you look up the bank towards the railway that might have been a path also between London , Canterbury and the north Kent coast. Not forgetting nearby Faversham a cinque port.

Sadly this ruin is getting rather over grown and the path from the road is not to be seen. Worth spending a little time here contemplating what is was like as a functioning building.

I was curious to visit this site with its links back to Roman Britain. I guess it was a Fast Prayer site for travellers along the nearby Roman road.
Come prepared to tramp across the fields to get to it, it may be wet and muddy.

I say 'Imagination required' because, in itself, this is a very modest site with just a few stone walls, considerably ruined, surrounding a stand of large trees in the centre of a field. It will only be of interest to people who, like me, find their imagination fired by the idea of a place of worship having been there for so many hundreds of years.
I am certain that people whose knowledge of and interest in history goes deeper than mine find the place even more interesting.
If you fall into the same category, then it's well worth stopping for a few minutes, especially if you happen to be passing that way and, maybe, visiting the much more extensive Oare Gunpowder Works nearby, which is well worth seeing.
And after all, it's free.
There is an English Heritage plaque giving a few details about the chapel.
There's no car park but it's easy to find a spot to park up, along the road that leads up one side of the field.

I enjoyed our visit to the Faversham Stone Chapel.First thing to note,is- it is in the middle of nowhere,we visited this after having finished seeing Maison Dieu.It was about a 30-40min walk/hike from there.Secondly,it is difficult to find-it is located within a field of crops.Luckily,we visited in April so the crops were still quite small otherwise,we would have been likely to have never found it.If you walk far enough along the main road you will eventually,come across an English Heritage sign,the path breaks and there is sort of a route through a field of crops to get to the Faversham Stone Chapel.Not that much to see,it's the ruins of a very old church,but we did have fun posing for pictures here.Got some great group pics .There is also an information board from English Heritage just in front of the attraction to give you a bit of info.Well at least it's a free historical tourist attraction and all that walking to get there helped burn some calories.

Little is known of the specifics of the stone chapel beside the A2. It was a Christian chapel at one point. But all the evidence points to its origins being a Roman mausoleum. Whose it was is not known, but if you can find somewhere to park (and it is difficult) it is well worth spending a few minutes exploring the ruin.

As it Was the First Roman Church to be built in England circa 3-4AD and many other churches have occupied this site, reclaiming the Roman tiles and materials from the Roman Camp on Judd Folly Hill, it is of Great Christian and Historic Importance.... Although Car parking is not good and dangerous at best. Well worth a visit though!!!

Firstly be careful where you park!
A brief walk across a field and the short distance from the road seems like miles away as you stumble across the remains of this ancient church. There's not a lot to see really but to imagine the prayers and people that once graced this holy spot.

We trudged up the hill from Faversham, crossing a field by the public path to this little chapel, that began life as a Roman shrine. There was a small group of archaeologists taking measurements, who did not stop us walking round the perimeter of the original building, and the extended medieval site. Looking across at the busy A2, and up to the site of an Iron Age fort, it was easy to imagine the users of Watling Street, and on the road to Canterbury across teh centuries. Very atmospheric, and worth the trudge.
