Gravesend |
 | | Gravesend is on the south bank of the Thames, locally in the hundred of Toltingtrough, in the lathe of Aylesford, 22 miles from London Bridge through Dartford. |
 | | Gravesend has of late years become a great place of resort for visitors from the metropolis, and has been much enlarged and improved : the old town is however still mean and irregular. |
 | | The living of Gravesend is a rectory, of the clear yearly value of £307 ; that of Milton a rectory, of the clear yearly value of £359 ; both of them are in the diocese and archdeaconry of Rochester. |
