About Gravesend

Known for

Pocahontas (buried at St George's Church), the river pilots who guide every ship up the Thames, the Rosherville Gardens heritage, the ferry to Tilbury, and a Kent riverside town with extraordinary historical connections

A little history

Pocahontas, the Native American princess who came to England in 1616, died at Gravesend and is buried at St George's Church — the only known burial place of a Native American in England. Every ship entering the Thames picks up a river pilot at Gravesend.

Local tip

The Pocahontas statue in St George's churchyard. The Thames waterfront for extraordinary river traffic watching. The Tilbury ferry crossing. The town's multicultural Sikh community and their extraordinary temple.
