In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Graveney like this:
GRAVENEY, a parish in Faversham district, Kent; on the North Kent railway, and thence to the river Swale, 2 miles ENE of Faversham. Post town, Faversham. Acres, 3, 722; of which 1, 720 are water. Real property, £ 4, 536; of which £10 are in fisheries. Pop., 234. Houses, 45. The property is divided among a few. ...
The manor belonged, from 811, to the Archbishops of Canterbury; and finured, at Domesday, as theirs. The living is a vicarage, united to the vicarage of Goodnestone, in the diocese of Canterbury. The church is early English, with interesting features; and has a decorated English altar tomb, and a very fine brass of 1436. Charities, £11.
