Historical Description
Sandwich is thirteen miles from Canterbury, is one of the cinque ports, and situated on the Stour, about a mile and a half from the sea. It was formerly a place of more consequence than at present, the harbour being now so choaked up that only small vessels can enter with safety. Being walled and surrounded by a ditch, it was considered, before the use of cannon, as a place of great strength; part of the wall still remains, together with a rampart and ditch which assisted in forming the" lines of defence.
At this town was a staple for wool, removed from Queenborough in the reign of Richard II; and, in the time of Queen Elizabeth, some Flemings set up a manufacture of woollen cloth, which produced great advantages to the town, but is now fallen into disuse.
Notwithstanding the decayed state of the haven, the exports and imports of this place are still considerable. The trade is principally carried on with Wales, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, and the Baltic.
There are two markets weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Sandwich was incorporated by Edward III. who vested the municipal government in a mayor, jurats, and common-council. Two representatives are sent to parliament, elected by the freemen at large, the mayor being returning officer.
This town suffered much by the Danes, whose King, Canute, here slit the noses and cut off the hands of those Englishmen who were given as hostages to his father Swein. In 1217 it was burnt by the French; and again in 1457.
Leland, who wrote in the reign of Henry VIII, gives the following description of Sandwich as it was in his time: "Sandwich, on the farther side of the river Sture, is neatly welle walled, wher the towne stondeth most in jeopardy of enemies, the residue of the town is ditched and mudde walled. Ther be yn the town, IIII principal gates, III paroche churches, of the which sum suppose that St. Maries was sumtyme a nunnery. Ther is a place of white friars, and an hospital without the town, first ordeined for mariners disesed and hurt. There is a place where monks of Christ Church did resort when they were lords of the town. The Caryke that was sunk in the haven in Pope Paul's time, did much hurt to the haven, and gether a great bank. The grounde self from Sandwich to the haven, and inward to the land is caulled Sanded bay." The town communicates with Stonar and the Isle of Thanet, by means of a bridge, which draws up, in order to admit the passage of masted vessels. This bridge was rebuilt, some years back, with great improvements.
There are three parishes in Sandwich, and three churches; St. Mary's, St. Peter's, and St. Clement's. St. Mary's Church consists of a north aisle and nave, at the end of which is the chancel. In this church are numerous monuments and inscriptions.
St. Peter's church appears to have been formerly constructed, like the other two, with the stone of Normandy, well squared, and neatly put together. The present structure is evidently the work of different times, and is composed of fragments of the older fabric, mixed with Kentish rag and sandstone, and flints from the shore. This church contains many interesting monuments.
St. Clement's church is a large and handsome structure, consisting of a nave and two aisles. The Tower stands in the centre of the church, and is by far the oldest part of the fabric. It is square, and ornamented on each side with three ranges of pillars and circular arches. It is built of Norman stone. There are many monuments in this church, and some ancient wooden stalls are still preserved here.
There are two hospitals in this town; that of St. Thomas was founded about the year 1392, by Thomas Ellis, a wealthy draper of Sandwich. The number of inmates is twelve. The hospital of St. Bartholomew, is an ancient foundation, and affords shelter and support to sixteen poor persons.
Edward the Confessor made Sandwich his residence during part of his reign, at which time it contained three hundred and seven houses. The soil in the environs is light and sandy, and particularly adapted to the cultivation of esculent plants. According to the returns made under the Population Act, in 1811, the number of houses in this town was 530, and the number of inhabitants 2735.
Not far from Sandwich is a small river called Gestling, remarkable in being used for the execution of felons. A presentment was made in the reign of Edward III. before the judges at Canterbury, that the priors of Christchurch had arbitrarily turned the course of the Gestling, so that the criminals could not be drowned and likewise that, in another case, they had diverted so much water that the stream was not capable of carrying the dead bodies to the sea, so that they remained a nuisance to the neighbourhood.
SANDWICH is a market town, containing three parishes besides St. Bartholomew’s, formerly extra-parochial, and is on the River Stour, in the midst of a wide area of rich, marsh land, thorough which the river winds its circuitous course to Pegwell Bay and the sea, here distant from the town about 2 miles at the nearest point. It is a seaport, municipal borough and head of a county court district, with a station on the South Eastern and Chatham railway, 68 miles from London via Canterbury, and 86 ½ by railway, 12 east by road from Canterbury, 7 south-west from Ramsgate, 9 south from Margate, 28 north-east from Ashford, 11 north from Dover, and 19 north-east from Folkestone by road, in the Isle of Thanet division of the county, hundred and union of Eastry, Wingham petty sessional division, lathe of St. Augustine, rural deanery of Sandwich and archdeaconry of Canterbury.
Sandwich, is one of the principal Cinque ports and was formerly a place of considerable importance; it was in existence prior to the year 665, and held a charter of incorporation under Edward the Confessor, and it has further been the scene of many historical events; in 851 the Danes were defeated here by King Athelstan, but they again repeatedly attacked the town in the years 993, 1006, 1013, 1014 and 1016; King Cnute the Great also landed here; in the time of King Edward the Confessor the houses numbered 307; at the Domesday survey, 383, and in 1841, 643. During the reign of Henry VI. the town was three times burnt by the French. The streets are narrow and irregularly built, but are paved and lighted; the ancient walls which surrounded, the town on the east, west and south side have been razed and sloping banks formed, covered with grass and planted with shrubs, and the summit of the embankment forms a promenade; portions of the Fishergate and Bridgegate also remain. The town is lighted with gas from works the property of the Corporation, and with water from the river Delf and from Foxbury Hill about 1 ½ miles from the town. In 1894 a well and reservoir with a capacity of 150,000 gallons and a pumping station, were constructed at Foxbury Hill by the Corporation, who have also entered into an agreement with the Eastry Rural Council to supply Ash, Eastry, Woodnesborough and Worth at a specified rate.
The town received a series of charters up to the 36 Charles II. (1684—5), but is now governed by a mayor, four aldermen and twelve councillors, and until disfranchised by the “Redistribution of Seats Act, 1885,” (48 & 49 Vict. c. 23), returned), in conjunction with Deal and Walmer, two members of Parliament. The borough has a commission of the peace and a separate court of quarter sessions.
The Curfew Bell is still rung here morning and evening.
In July, 1847, an Act of Parliament was passed for improving, regulating and maintaining the haven and improving the navigation of the river.

The inmates are chosen, from indigent towns people above 60 years of age. Owing to the diminished income a scheme has recently been sanctioned by the Charity Commissioners by which the 6 inmates of St. John’s Hospital will be removed to St. Thomas’ Hospital and the St. John’s Hospital tenements let.
