Historic Swale is an umbrella organisation set up to showcase the diverse and fascinating heritage of the Swale area.
Swale is an area of North Kent with a deceptively rich history. The towns of Sheerness, Sittingbourne and Faversham are only the beginning!
If you are a visitor please explore this site to find our museums, historic buildings and heritage attractions.
If you are local and looking to get involved, then there will be something for you here too!
Deadman's Island
At the mouth of The Swale, opposite the town of Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey, the remains of dozens of people who were buried more than 200 years ago are being slowly exposed by the sea.
