Welcome to Abbey Gate

Abbey Gate Kent is a historic site located in the town of Faversham, Kent, England. The site is home to the remains of a 12th-century abbey gatehouse, which was once part of the Faversham Abbey. The gatehouse is a Grade I listed building and is considered to be one of the most significant medieval structures in the county of Kent. The site is open to the public and is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and tourists alike.

The abbey gatehouse was built in the 12th century and was part of the Faversham Abbey, which was founded in 1147 by King Stephen. The gatehouse was the main entrance to the abbey and was used to control access to the site. The gatehouse was built using local Kentish ragstone and features a number of architectural details, including a pointed archway, a portcullis groove, and a series of decorative carvings. The gatehouse was damaged during the English Civil War and was later restored in the 19th century.

Today, Abbey Gate Kent is a popular destination for visitors to the town of Faversham. The site is open to the public and offers a unique glimpse into the history of the area. Visitors can explore the remains of the gatehouse and learn about the history of the Faversham Abbey. The site is also home to a number of events throughout the year, including guided tours, historical reenactments, and concerts. Abbey Gate Kent is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Kent.
