Summary

Further work was undertaken in the nave of the ruined church at Stone-by-Faversham in 1971–2 as part of the programme of its consolidation as an Ancient Monument by the Department of the Environment. Evidence was found for a pre-Conquest stone nave, itself possibly preceded by a timber nave; the stone nave was extended westwards in the twelfth or thirteenth century. West of the pre-Conquest nave there were traces of a Roman building distinct from the Roman mausoleum incorporated in the chancel of the church. The dating evidence of Roman and Saxon coins and pottery is discussed.
