New Romney, Medieval port town in Folkestone and Hythe District, England

New Romney sits on Romney Marsh, with the Church of St Nicholas standing prominently above ground level due to centuries of accumulated silt deposits.

The great storm of 1287 changed the River Rother's course, filling the harbor with sand and causing New Romney to lose its status as a Cinque Port.

The town hall preserves extensive records of the Cinque Ports, documenting the maritime heritage and administrative functions from medieval times.

The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway provides transportation services from New Romney station, located east of the historic town center.

The town's medieval church retains boat hooks on its walls, marking the original sea level before natural forces moved the coastline over a mile away.
