One of the things I didn't manage to do when I took a stroll around Faversham in Kent, was visit the church of St. Mary of Charity in the town centre.
There was a service in progress at the time, so of course, I couldn't intrude. There are still other areas of the town I haven't walked yet, but this was by far the most important.
Today I managed it. It was in the process of being cleaned, and was virtually unlit, so I couldn't photograph everything clearly. There are also a lot of monuments mounted high on the walls that I couldn't read, and still others that are worn away so much as to be indecipherable.
However, I have noted what I could, and I hope further investigations will reveal even more of interest. I'm about to start uploading some 70-odd photos, and then I will start researching what I can.
I've included a little about King Stephen, who was buried here, but it is well-worth finding out more than I can put here about him and the Empress Matilda.
