New Romney
New Romney is a small town in Kent, England, on the edge of Romney Marsh, an area of flat, rich agricultural land redeemed from the sea after the harbour started to silt up. New Romney, among the initial Cinque Ports, was when a sea port, with the harbour adjacent to the church, but is now greater than a mile from the sea. A mooring ring can still be seen in front of the church. It is the headquarters of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. Like many towns on the marsh it has an outstanding Norman church in the centre of town. This church initially stood at the harbourside, and also its entries are a number of feet below ground level. The church is additionally significant for the boat hooks still noticeable on the side wall surfaces. New Romney's historic high street has a number of small and fascinating shops. A few services closed after the opening of a branch of supermarket chain Sainsbury's, however the town keeps a lot of its character. The former almshouses in West Street are noted historic buildings of Kent; they were founded in 1610 by John Southland, a vital regional mogul, and also rebuilt in 1734. Beside these is Plantagenet House as well as No 3 Old Stone Cottage, which stemmed as a solitary house created c. 1300-- 1350. Scientists believe it was initially the house of the Master of The Hospital of St John the Baptist, a big secular establishment. The healthcare facility was operating by c. 1260 and also thrived until the close of the fifteenth century.
