The Faversham Charters and Magna Carta

Faversham is one of a tiny handful of English towns which can boast a medieval version of King John’s famous Magna Carta. The charter is one of the most celebrated documents of English history, revered the world over as one of the foundation documents of liberty and democracy. Faversham’s version, made over 700 years ago, is one of the best-preserved of all. It takes centre stage in Faversham Town Council’s new exhibition room, presented alongside its other royal charters which have been carefully preserved in the town for centuries.
