Sandwich Has Lots of Elizabethan Houses, in the Garrison Style

Due to its long martial history, many of Sandwich's properties were built in the Garrison style, with overhanging floors. Although the sea is now 2 miles from the town, it was also one of the original Cinque Ports, protecting Kent from the French. Silting began to affect the port in about the 13th Century and Sandwich port was no longer viable for naval or commercial use by about the 16th Century.
