New Romney
New Romney is a small town in Kent, England, on the edge of Romney Marsh, an area of flat, abundant farming land redeemed from the sea after the harbour began to silt up. New Romney, among the original Cinque Ports, was as soon as a sea port, with the harbour adjacent to the church, but 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 a remarkable Norman church in the centre of town. This church initially stood at the harbourside, and its entryways are a number of feet underground degree. The church is also noteworthy for the boat hooks still apparent on the side walls. New Romney's historical high street has a number of small and intriguing shops. A few services closed after the opening of a branch of supermarket chain Sainsbury's, however the community retains much of its character. The previous almshouses in West Street are kept in mind historical structures of Kent; they were founded in 1610 by John Southland, a vital neighborhood tycoon, as well as rebuilt in 1734. Adjacent to these is Plantagenet House as well as No 3 Old Stone Cottage, which stemmed as a single house built c. 1300-- 1350. Researchers assume it was originally the residence of the Master of The Hospital of St John the Baptist, a big secular establishment. The healthcare facility was operating by c. 1260 as well as flourished until the close of the fifteenth century.
