New Romney
New Romney is a small town in Kent, England, on the edge of Romney Marsh, an area of level, abundant farming land reclaimed from the sea after the harbour began to silt up. New Romney, one of the original Cinque Ports, was once a sea port, with the harbour adjacent to 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 lots of towns on the marsh it has an outstanding Norman church in the centre of town. This church originally stood at the harbourside, and also its entryways are numerous feet underground level. The church is also notable for the boat hooks still noticeable on the side wall surfaces. New Romney's historical high street has several small and interesting stores. A couple of businesses closed after the opening of a branch of supermarket chain Sainsbury's, however the community keeps a lot of its personality. The former almshouses in West Street are noted historical buildings of Kent; they were founded in 1610 by John Southland, an important neighborhood tycoon, and rebuilt in 1734. Beside these is Plantagenet House and also No 3 Old Stone Cottage, which originated as a solitary house constructed c. 1300-- 1350. Researchers think it was initially the home of the Master of The Hospital of St John the Baptist, a huge secular establishment. The health center was operating by c. 1260 and also prospered until the close of the fifteenth century.
