Chatham's name was first recorded in 880 as Cetham and in the Domesday Book 1086 as Ceteham "settlement by the wood". Other origins are possible, such as cyte meaning cottage, or Catti, the name of a Germanic tribe some of whom may have settled there.

Chatham High Street is thankfully traffic free.

Chatham
Chatham viewed from Great Lines, looking towards Rochester. Great Lines is a flat 70 hectare hilltop area of chalkland overlooking the valley and river, in the past used as a "field of fire" for the defence of Chatham. It is used nowadays as parkland recreation, and part of it is a Site of Nature Conservation Interest. Gillingham is situated a short distance behind the hilltop. www.chathamworldheritage.org.uk/index/visiting/3493.htm

Vertical Nelson sundial in Chatham Chatham
We have often driven past this and wondered about it. This vertical declining sundial on the old post office building at Chatham commemorates the 189th anniversary of the death of Lord Nelson, tracking the Battle of Trafalgar on 21st October, indicating the time of Nelson’s death.
