Graveney Church

All Saints Church, Graveney

All Saints Church, Graveney, was constructed in Norman language times, but it is mainly 14th century. The connections between the village of Graveney and the Christian Church can be traced back to a time before the Domesday Survey.[1] The marshes are part of the South Swale SSSI.


The Saxon Shore Way (long distance path) passes around the Graveney Marshes (between Seasalter and Faversham).[2] The marshes are part of the South Swale SSSI.
