About Fencing in Hythe
Hythe in Kent was one of the original five Cinque Ports, receiving its first charter from Henry II in 1155 and a further charter in 1278 that confirmed its role in the confederation often described as the cradle of the Royal Navy. The town's most distinctive feature today is the Royal Military Canal, built as a defence against a feared Napoleonic invasion, with construction starting at nearby Seabrook in 1804 and the finished canal stretching some 28 miles along the old cliff line bordering Romney Marsh. Though never intended for navigation, the canal was later opened to barges and passenger boats, remaining busy until the railway to Hastings arrived in 1851 and took away most of its trade.
