  Florilegium urbanum - Constitution - Customs of Fordwich
Fordwich appears to have been under the jurisdiction of Canterbury: the king and (later) the earl shared jurisdiction, while the cathedral itself had some jurisdiction there – its own quay, with adjacent property, later the subject of disputes with the abbey.
Yet, in the charter Fordwich was granted by Henry II (1184), the privileges obtained were typical of normal boroughs, and had none of the special features associated with the Cinque Ports; furthermore, the charter included the grant of a Merchant Gild, an institution not found in any of the Cinque Ports.
Whether or not that was the case, Fordwich did become an associate member of the Cinque Ports under its more thriving neighbour Sandwich, became in some regards subordinate to Sandwich, and reshaped its constitution somewhat to be more consistent with that of Sandwich.

There is a possibility, according to this account that the ship could have stopped at Fordwich as it did leave from London on its first stage of the trip around the coast to Southampton and it could easily have put into the River Stour and Fordwich.
Fordwich was originally a 'limb' of the Cinque Ports but lost its status as a Town in 1880 when it no longer had a Mayor and Corporation.
However, in a reoganisation in 1972, Fordwich was again made a Town as much as anything because of its prior importance in what is now a rather sleepy corner of Kent.
