  Sandwich, Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before Sandwich became a Cinque Port, the ancient Saxon town of Stonar, located on the opposite bank of the Wantsum estuary, at the mouth of the river Stour, was already well established and remained a place of considerable importance until it disappeared almost without trace in the 14th century.
The Battle of Sandwich is sometimes said to have been fought in 1460, but although the rebel English raiding party did land here, over 30,000 local supporters are said to have accompanied Warwick and his party to London, offering support to his cause during the Wars of the Roses.
Sandwich was later to gain significantly from the skills brought to the town by many Dutch settlers, who were granted the right to settle by Queen Elizabeth I in 1560.
