One of the main reasons why we got off the bus a stop or two early, before Faversham town centre, was to take a look at Faversham Almhouses.
Have just read that the Almhouses were built in 1863 and make up one of the biggest Almhouse set-ups in the country.
Both close up and from a distance, the Almhouses did certainly look impressive:
Have also just discovered that the Almhouse dwellings were extensively renovated in 1982 and reopened by the Queen Mother.
At the centre of the whole Almshouse structure stands an incredible-looking chapel:
The close-up shot below shows just how elegant-looking this chapel is:
Really glad that we got to have a look at the Faversham Almhouses.
