My 3rd great-grandfather was born in Faversham but emigrated to the US in 1862. I enjoyed the information about Faversham history since I knew nothing about it other than my grandfather worked in the oyster beds before emigrating and becoming a farmer in Ohio. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit in person some day. It looks lovely :)
I have information for you about Hollow shore the slight hill to the North of the creek entrance. If you drive to OARE Marshes via the 3 Mariners you drive through a quick right and left of a turn in the road towards the coastguard cottages at the summit of the hill. It is my understanding that this the West-East entrance to a Roman fort with commanding position over entrance to the east Swale. That could ride to "Syndale" on the A2 within the hour of spotting the enemy. Moreover There reason the fort was there was because of the ford that still exists across the Swale. At minimum low tide there is a 20 cm deep causeway that you could run 500 head of beef across in one hour at Hartyferry.. Never tried it,, however I do know there is hard core right under the center of the swale at this point. Having walked as far as I could without equipment.
A piece of advice, keep away from it. Your ancestor did the right thing, he travelled 4000 miles to escape from it. I wasn't quite so adventurous, I only travelled 127 miles, to get away from it.
Forget the Judes, Angles and Saxons, concentrate more on the Pakistanis, Somalians , Yemenis and Albanians, because there the future of your country, in so far, that you have a future.

He did the right thing. Keep away from the place.

I notice quite a few omissions 🤔

Are you being sarcastic?
