There is, of course,a Faversham 'William and Mary' story.
Join us any Saturday at 10.30 am to find out more 👑

Mary II was born at St James’ Palace in 1662. Mary was the eldest daughter of James, Duke of York - the future James II - and his first wife, Anne Hyde. Mary married her first cousin, William III, and would jointly reign with him for 6 years. She is buried in the Abbey and her life-size wax funeral effigy is on display in our museum.

With that in mind, we have not one but TWO fabulous options lined up for you.
