About Rainham
Rainham is an old Medway settlement that grew around the main road between London and the Kent coast. Its parish church, St Margaret’s, has medieval origins, while the town expanded steadily with improved road and rail links during the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, the High Street remains the main centre, with a mix of older buildings, shops and pubs, while Rainham railway station gives the town direct connections towards London, Chatham, Gillingham and the Kent coast.
