About Fencing in Sandwich
Sandwich in Kent was one of the five original Cinque Ports, a medieval confederation formed alongside Dover, Hythe, New Romney and Hastings to supply ships and men for the king's service, and it became the most important of these ports and later England's chief naval base during the Middle Ages. The town's name comes from the Anglo Saxon Sandwic, meaning market town on sandy soil, and Sandwich retains more than 150 surviving buildings from before 1600, including a striking 16th century timber gatehouse, earning it a reputation as one of the most complete medieval towns in England. From around 1500 the harbour gradually silted up, and the town now sits some two miles inland from the sea. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the CT13 postcode area.
