This involved the monumental labour of turning every single page of their unofficial catalogues. The whole index has been arranged under place and date in six columns giving the Archive, the archive reference, the main parish, a description of the document, the number of documents and the dates.

At the Conquest Faversham, Whitstable and Milton were all fisheries that were then royal manors, perhaps controlled by the crown, perhaps not. Our researches have shown that there is no doubt that King Stephen, in founding the abbey at Faversham in 1147 by granting them the manor and hundred of Faversham, founded the oyster fishery company. It may have been based on arrangements made when Faversham had been a royal manor, but we have no proof one way or the other.<br /> Like so many businesses the records of The Company and Fraternity of Freefishermen and Dredgermen of Faversham and the eventual formation of the Faversham Oyster Fishery Company Ltd. in 1930 have left no complete archive. Despite this, through diligent research in many archives, we have been able to build up a comprehensive account. Twenty-five appendices, arranged in chronological order, provide transcripts of some of the more important documents and include lists of members taken from a variety of records. Comprehensive name and place indexes enable individuals to be easily located in these records"UNIQ7d4b27b091036497-ref-0000013D-QINU [http://www.kafs.co.uk/pdf/port.pdf The Historical Development of the Port of Faversham, Kent 1580-1780] of the Port of Faversham, Kent 1580-1780]  +
