Faversham Stone Chapel (Our Lady of Elverton)

Faversham Stone Chapel preserves the unusual meeting of a Roman mausoleum and a later Christian church in a field near Ospringe. The low Anglo-Saxon and medieval ruins incorporate the earlier building at the eastern end, where Roman stonework and brick courses help distinguish its fabric from the chapel around it. The surviving plan is easier to understand when you pause at the information board and trace the walls rather than expecting a complete building. Reviewers value its Roman origins and rural setting, while repeatedly noting the difficulty of parking beside the busy A2. English Heritage advises considerate parking in the nearby lane, followed by the short approach across farmland and grass. Use the permitted field entrance and take care around traffic; an empty industrial site is not authorised visitor parking. Dogs on leads are welcome. This is a small outdoor stop with uneven ground.
