A real hidden gem - a ruined stone chapel converted from a Romano-British temple, the remains of which can still be seen

I get that it’s an old historical site, but it’s just some rocks...

As on the picture mostly only fundaments left. Place is nice but there is no close car park so you need to walk to it be the really busy road (very unpleasant) and when you get there you can constantly hear the cars.

It is only a ruin so do not expect to much

The Faversham Stone Chapel, also known as Our Lady of Elwarton, close to the Roman Watling Street (now the A2), is the only chapel in England to incorporate a pagan mausoleum. You can still see the rows of thin red bricks laid by the Romano-British in the 4th Century. It is probably the only remains of the small Roman town of Durolevum and its Roman cemetery at Ospringe. The chapel was abandoned by the 1530's. It is maintained by English Heritage and was was excavated during the 19th century and again in the 1960s and '70s.

It’s a very interesting ruined church, the only con is that there’s no place to leave your car, although it’s just 50 metres from the always busy A2.
Tip: leave your car at an abandoned factory on Faversham Road (just next to JE and JH Clinch) and then it’s just a less than 5’ walk.

Lovely ruins, only downside the traffic takes away from it's beauty and scenery.
