New Romney
New Romney is a village in Kent, England, on the edge of Romney Marsh, a location of flat, rich agricultural land redeemed from the sea after the harbour started to silt up. New Romney, one of the initial Cinque Ports, was as soon as a sea port, with the harbour adjacent to the church, however is now more than a mile from the sea. A mooring ring can still be seen in front of the church. It is the head office of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. Like lots of towns on the marsh it has an outstanding Norman church in the centre of community. This church initially stood at the harbourside, and also its entries are several feet underground degree. The church is also significant for the boat hooks still noticeable on the side walls. New Romney's historical high street has a number of small and interesting shops. A couple of services closed after the opening of a branch of grocery store chain Sainsbury's, however the community maintains a lot of its character. The previous almshouses in West Street are kept in mind historical buildings of Kent; they were founded in 1610 by John Southland, a vital regional tycoon, as well as rebuilt in 1734. Adjacent to these is Plantagenet House and No 3 Old Stone Cottage, which stemmed as a single residence built c. 1300-- 1350. Scientists believe it was originally the house of the Master of The Hospital of St John the Baptist, a big secular facility. The healthcare facility was running by c. 1260 and thrived up until the close of the fifteenth century.
