Fix this textTIfINCHELSEA, one of the ancient
Fix this text. towns of the Cinque Ports Con-
Fix this textfederation, is one of the very roots of
Fix this textEnglish history and from which the great
Fix this texttrade of the British Commonwealth has
Fix this textgrown and spread into every part of the
Fix this textworld. The Confederation consisted of
Fix this textDover, Hastings, Hythe, Romney and
Fix this textSandwich as Cinque ports and Rye and
Fix this textWinchelsea added as Ancient Towns.
Fix this textSeven centuries ago they were among the
Fix this textbusiest ports of the South of England.
Fix this textUntil the reign of Henry VIII these
Fix this textCinque Ports provided the only fleet that
Fix this textEngland possessed. For these services
Fix this textthe Freemen of the Ports and Towns
Fix this textwere granted certain privileges, among
Fix this textthem the license to trade in any English
Fix this textborough without tax or toll.
Fix this textToday the original Winchelsea has
Fix this texttotally disappeared owing to the en-
Fix this textcroachment of the sea during the 13th
Fix this textcentury, and its successor is a quiet, con-
Fix this texttemplative little village surrounding the
Fix this textchancel of its former noble church.
Fix this textEdward I founded the “new” part of
Fix this textWinchelsea at the close of the 13th cen-
Fix this texttury. It was planned on an ambitious
Fix this textscale with important public buildings,
Fix this textfortified walls and gates.
Fix this textThe Strand Gate, pictured here, is one
Fix this textof three gateways standing today. The
Fix this textnarrow arch is now a menace to traffic,
Fix this textadmitting as it does only a single line,
Fix this textbut Winchelsea would rather be without
Fix this texther traffic than her majestic gateways.
Fix this textJust above the gateway is the Look-
Fix this textout, from which extensive views of the
Fix this textEnglish Channel may be obtained, and
Fix this textthe visitor may conjure up the romance
Fix this textof the coastline at this point where the
Fix this textsmugglers and raiders of Rye and Win-
Fix this textchelsea combined and set out on their
Fix this textreprisal visits to the French coast. Be-
Fix this textside the Strand Gate is a cottage, once
Fix this textoccupied by the actress Dame Ellen
Fix this textTerry and where the Duke of Wellington
Fix this textstayed when he visited Winchelsea for
Fix this textthe purpose of reviewing the troops
Fix this textduring the Napoleonic Wars.
