| | Hythe, Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The small seaside resort and town of Hythe, in the District of Shepway, (derived from sheep-way, since shepherds drove their flocks across Romney Marsh and the Downs) is one of the five original Cinque Ports on the south coast of Kent, in England. |
 | | (b2067) The lathe of Shepway was the Saxon name for south east Kent, roughly corresponding with the modern District of Shepway, comprising Folkestone, Hythe, Romney Marsh and the nearby villages as far north as Elham. |
 | | Although it stands on the place of the former Court of the Cinque Ports, it was erected by the EARL Beaumont in 1923 to celebrate the deeds of the men of the Cinque Ports during the Great War (1914-1919). |
