  Sandwich, Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandwich is an historic town in Kent, south-east England.
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.
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.
