New Romney
New Romney is a town in Kent, England, on the edge of Romney Marsh, an area of level, rich agricultural land redeemed from the sea after the harbour started to silt up. New Romney, among the original Cinque Ports, was as soon as a sea port, with the harbour beside the church, yet is now more 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 lots of communities on the marsh it has an outstanding Norman church in the centre of town. This church initially stood at the harbourside, and its entryways are numerous feet below ground level. The church is additionally remarkable for the watercraft hooks still evident on the side walls. New Romney's historic high street has several small as well as fascinating stores. A few organisations shut after the opening of a branch of grocery store chain Sainsbury's, but the town maintains much of its personality. The previous almshouses in West Street are noted historic structures of Kent; they were founded in 1610 by John Southland, a crucial neighborhood mogul, as well as rebuilt in 1734. Beside these is Plantagenet House and No 3 Old Stone Cottage, which came from as a single residence built c. 1300-- 1350. Scientists assume it was originally the residence of the Master of The Hospital of St John the Baptist, a large nonreligious establishment. The hospital was running by c. 1260 as well as grew up until the close of the fifteenth century.
