Several Roman urns and oyster shells were found in an orchard in 1850 when the foundations of the houses in The Mall, Faversham, were being dug. A coin of Nero was found at the back of Mendfield's Almshouses on the same side of the street. [Bedo suggests that this was part of the Kings Field cemetery, TR 06 SW 16.] (1) The majority of houses on the east side of The Mall carry dates from 1846 to 1853 (centred TR 0140 6072). Mendfield's Almshouses are no longer in being and enquiries of the Borough Surveyor, local estate agents and residents failed to locate their former site, but a row of private dwellings at the north end of The Mall on the east side, dated1853 (centred at TR 0144 6081) closely resemble almshouses. Enquiriesthere were also negative. (2)
