About Fencing in Gravesend
Gravesend in Kent has a striking connection to American history, as the town where the Native American princess Pocahontas came ashore in March 1617, gravely ill after abandoning her voyage home to Virginia. She died in the town shortly after and was buried at St George's Church, though the exact location of her grave was lost when the medieval church burned down in 1727, replaced by a life sized bronze statue that still stands facing the Thames today.
