    Just look up: there are stories about Faversham everywhere!
    Want to find out more about Faversham's history? A great place to start is the Fleur de Lis Heritage Centre in Preston Street, run by the Faversham Society.
    The museum is well worth exploring, as is the shop, packed with books, DVDs et cetera about Faversham and Kent; the society's own publications, in particular, are a mine of local information and very good value.
    Find out more about the society's activities on the faversham.org site: http://tinyurl.com/82swjq9
    And faversham.org's own history pages are very handy for online explorers: http://tinyurl.com/769rtjr
