History
The history of Dymchurch began with the gradual build-up of the Romney Marsh.[2]
New Hall was rebuilt in 1575 after an earlier wooden structure was destroyed in a fire. It was used as a court room for the Romney Marsh area. The head magistrate was known as Leveller of the Marsh Scotts. It was there that the so-called Scot tax[3] was introduced, levied on residents to fund maintenance of the sea wall. Those directly outside the boundaries and thus not eligible for the tax were said to have got away Scott Free. Residents with land were required to grow thorn bushes for building of the wall, as thorn twigs were believed impervious to sea water. Failure resulted in an ear being cut off.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, smuggling was rife all along the south-east coast of England. Due to its remote location, Romney Marsh and the surrounding areas were amongst the busiest locations for illicit trade. Inspiration from this gave rise to Dymchurch being the setting of the Doctor Syn novels, based on smuggling, by Russell Thorndike. Every two years a celebration of the novels is held, usually on August Bank Holiday.
Dymchurch played a significant rôle in the Anglo-French Survey (1784–1790), which linked the Royal Greenwich Observatory with the Paris Observatory using trigonometry. There were two base-lines for the English part of the survey, on Hounslow Heath and on Romney Marsh. The Romney Marsh base-line extended from Ruckinge to High Nook, on the sea-wall near Dymchurch.
Dymchurch Martello towers
Main article: Martello tower
Several Martello towers were built in the nineteenth century as part of an Empire-wide coastal defence programme: most have since fallen into the sea or become dilapidated. Tower 23 was restored externally in the early 1970s and is currently a private residence. Tower 24 has undergone renovation and using Tower 23 used as a guide: in 1969 it became the first Martello tower to be opened to the public and remains as a museum of Martello Towers, owned by English Heritage. Tower 25 is possibly the only empty tower that is regularly maintained.[4]
Dymchurch Redoubt
Main article: Dymchurch Redoubt
Two redoubt forts were constructed into the south coast Martello chain to act as supply depots for the local Martellos, and were originally described as eleven-gun towers. A four-gun tower was originally proposed at Dymchurch, but this idea was revised at the Rochester conference of 1804. Dymchurch Redoubt was built between 1806 and 1809 to the same specifications as its Eastbourne counterpart, although Dymchurch does not have any caponiers. A caponier is a type of fortification structure. The word originates from the French word caponnière. It is a type of fortification structure which allows firing along the bottom of a dry moat that surrounds the main fortress.

New Beach Holiday Park, Dymchurch, Kent, July 2018. (Week 2 Of Our Summer Adventures)
Week two of our summer adventures starts with a heatwave but quickly turns into something completely different (be careful what you wish for)
We spent our weekend at New Beach Holiday Park near Dymchurch, Kent. The park is really nice, the entertainment was good and the staff were nice, the total cost for the two nights was £66.
We had a really good time even though we left early, in hindsight I am glad we did because the rain was worse the next day.
I hope our videos help to encourage families living with disability's to get out in the world and enjoy the outdoors.

English South Coast shore fishing marks.
Pirate Springs, Littlestone Wall and Taylor Road are all included in this video.
Set within St Mary's Bay, these marks provide less crowded options to the nearby Dungeness.
They are all sandy, flat and shallow marks that see less anglers on the beach than the popular - and sometimes snaggy - marks in front of the Dungeness power station, just down the coastal road.
