New Romney
New Romney is a town in Kent, England, on the edge of Romney Marsh, a location of level, abundant agricultural land recovered from the sea after the harbour began to silt up. New Romney, one of the initial Cinque Ports, was when 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 head office of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. Like many towns on the marsh it has a remarkable Norman church in the centre of community. This church originally stood at the harbourside, and also its entryways are several feet underground degree. The church is likewise notable for the boat hooks still evident on the side walls. New Romney's historical high street has a number of little and also interesting stores. A couple of businesses shut after the opening of a branch of grocery store chain Sainsbury's, however the community keeps much of its personality. The previous almshouses in West Street are kept in mind historical structures of Kent; they were founded in 1610 by John Southland, a vital local magnate, as well as rebuilt in 1734. Beside these is Plantagenet House as well as No 3 Old Stone Cottage, which stemmed as a single house constructed c. 1300-- 1350. Researchers think it was originally the house of the Master of The Hospital of St John the Baptist, a huge secular facility. The medical facility was running by c. 1260 as well as flourished up until the close of the fifteenth century.
