New Romney

New Romney is a town in the Folkestone and Hythe district.

Historic England lists the Church of St Nicholas at Grade I (list entry 1344057), and Kent’s Historic Environment Record says the church shows evidence of at least four building periods in the 12th century. The Romney Marsh Churches website describes a New Romney Heritage Trail that stops at the church, with map boards in Church Square and West Street car park. Visit Folkestone and Hythe’s story on the town names St Nicholas Church, the High Street, West Street, the Town Hall and the Old School among its highlights.

The Romney Marsh Churches website adds that trail leaflets are available from local outlets and that plaques on key buildings help mark the way. The Confederation of the Cinque Ports lists New Romney among its member towns, and its limbs page lists Lydd under New Romney. The Confederation’s own New Romney page says the town was a member of the Cinque Ports confederation.

The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway’s own station page says New Romney station is the headquarters of the railway and gives the postcode TN28 8PL. Check the railway’s website for running days and fares.
