Liberties

The Liberty of the town was defined by various markers, some of them inscribed stones.  Within this area the town and its' citizens enjoyed various privileges under liberty's charters both as a corporate town as also a member of the Cinque Ports.

The Cinque Ports

With four of the original five Cinque Ports being located in Kent and the majority of the modern total of fourteen also located in Kent, it seems only fitting that a link to the official site is provided rather than attempt to produce an alternative.
