About

Faversham East encompasses the historic heart of the town, centred around its medieval market square and the parish church of St Mary of Charity. The area features a network of narrow streets and alleys with timber-framed buildings, leading down to Faversham Creek. This waterway was historically vital for the town's trade and industry.

The area includes the Shepherd Neame brewery, which has operated on its current site since the late 17th century. Residential streets with Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing extend eastward from the core. The creek and its associated boatyards provide a working maritime character distinct from the purely commercial centre.
