Monument record TR 06 SW 1005 - Faversham oyster beds
Summary
Oyster dredging was carried on at Faversham from early times, with Henry II making perhaps the first grant of the fishery to the Manor of Faversham. The oldest documentary evidence comes from 1591. The boundaries of the oyster fisheries were surveyed and mapped in 1608. After World War II the fishery ceased operation and the grounds were leased to the Seasalter and Ham Oyster Fishery Company.
