All Saints Church,
Graveney is located in the vilage of Graveney, some 2 miles north east of Faversham
The connection between the village of Graveney and the Christian Church can be traced back to a time before the Domesday Survey.
In 811 Canulph, King of Mercia, who had also made a successful take over bid for the Kingdom of Kent, sold the manor of Graveney to Wilfred, Archbishop of Canterbury, for the use of Christ Church, Canterbury.
The Domesday Survey records the manor as being ‘ Terre militum Archieni’ (land held of the Archbishop by knights service) and tenanted by the de Gravene family.
The construction of the church building in terms of style and material sets it in the mid 12th century.
Visitors to the church can see evidence of the Christian congregation over the centuries and trace the history of the village and people.
Many have asked about the box pews. They were installed in 1823 but they took up a great deal of space and were found to be uncomfortable so, by 1925 there were moves to replace them with chairs.
The cost of chairs was prohibitive at £1 4s 6d each, an expense way beyond the Church Council at that time. So the box pews remained.
The churchyard at All Saints is well kept; there are sweeping views across the marshes back towards Faversham, north to Seasalter and east towards Boughton Hill. It is a stopping off point on many footpaths and benefits from having the use of the adjacent Alfreda Boggia Memorial car park.
