Gravesend is situated on the south bank of The Thames opposite Tilbury. It is now a residential and industrial town and still a major port with a passenger ferry operating across the Thames estuary to Tilbury. The town has good shopping facilities and excellent communications. The Saxon Shore Way starts here and the town has one of the oldest surviving markets in the country. A statue of Princess Pocahontas stands in the former churchyard at St. Georges - she saved the life of John Smith in Virginia and died in England in 1617.

HISTORY

Gravesend was mentioned as Gravesham in Domesday and spelt Grauefend in the 16th Century. It is thought that the name originally derived from the 'place at the end of the Grove' and belonged to the Bishop of Bayeux in the 11th C.

Gravesend has long been settled with Roman remains being found at Springhead. In the C16th Henry Vlll had a riverside fort here and in the C19th the first steamboat ferry crossed The Thames, bringing a number of tourists to the town. Many famous people are connected with Gravesend including General Gordon, Pocahontas and Rimsky-Korsakov.
