Show Notes
This episode continues our series on the Cinque Ports, an ancient confederation of towns in southeast England that provided ships and men to the crown in return for special powers and privileges. They have since become rightly dubbed as the cradle of the Royal Navy. This episode brings us to New Romney, one of the original five head ports. New Romney retains its deep maritime heritage and significance despite having lost its proximity to the sea when the Great Storm of 1287 dramatically altered the landscape and rerouted the River Rother.
