Place record TQ 97 SW 17 - Queenborough
Summary
Queenborough was named by King Edward III after his Queen, Philippa of Hainault, and granted the town a charter in 1366. In 1368 he bestowed the duties of a royal borough upon it. The town was laid out to the west of the new castle which had also been built by the King. It has recently become part of the Church of England parish of Sheerness after being part of the church parish of Minster since it was built as a planned town on orders from Edward III.
