About Grain
Grain Tower is a mid-19th-century gun tower situated offshore just east of Grain, Kent, standing in the mouth of the River Medway. It was built along the same lines as the Martello towers that were constructed along the British and Irish coastlines in the early 19th century and is the last-built example of a gun tower of this type. It was built to protect the important dockyards at Sheerness and Chatham from a perceived French naval threat during a period of tension in the 1850s.
