Paul Our town of Faversham was a centre for gunpowder manufacture. It was used to large explosions, or 'Blows' as they were called. The parish church has a spire which doesn't match as the original was lost in a blast. One 'Blow' was so powerful, in Canterbury, 9 miles away, it was thought it was an earthquake, it was heard in London, about 52 miles away. David

Very big bang. It was an interesting programme. They did a lot of looking into who the men were.
