Dymchurch is a village and civil parish in the Shepway district of Kent, England. The village is located on the coast five miles south-west of Hythe, and on the Romney Marsh. The history of Dymchurch began with the gradual build-up of the Romney Marsh.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.
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.
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.
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.
The main road into the village is the A259. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway was originally opened in the 1920s, but closed temporarily during World War Two. Dymchurch railway station was reopened after the war by Laurel and Hardy. Dymchurch has a blue flag awarded sandy beach and is surrounded by mile after mile of flat countryside that is well suited to those who seek to walk or cycle, the village provides an ideal base for visitors to the area.
The Day of Syn celebrates the adventures of the fictional Dymchurch residents of years gone by in their struggles with the excise men, alongside the personal challenges of key characters against circumstance and particular enemies. Dymchurch has had a sea wall since Roman times, with the original development being constructed to protect the harbour at Port Lympne.

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.

The Martello Towers are a familiar sight across Folkestone, Hythe and Dymchurch, though most people have no idea what they look like on the inside. However, those who have always been curious now have the chance to explore one of the towers, free of charge. More than 100 of the defensive forts were constructed across England between 1805 and 1812 as a defensive measure against a potential invasion during the Napoleonic Wars, though none were ever used.

ENGLAND, EXPLORING a NAPOLEONIC era defensive FORT (MARTELLO TOWER) ???? in ALDEBURGH
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit one of the remaining Martello Towers in England, this one is at the beautiful village of Aldeburgh. Between 1804 and 1812 the British authorities built a chain of towers based on the original Mortella tower to defend the south and east coast of England, Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey to guard against possible invasion from France, then under the rule of the Emperor Napoleon. A total of 103 Martello towers were built in England, set at regular intervals along the coast from Seaford, Sussex, to Aldeburgh, Suffolk. The northern-most tower at Aldeburgh is of quatrefoil design, i.e. four in one.
England, birthplace of Shakespeare and The Beatles, is a country in the British Isles bordering Scotland and Wales. The capital, London, on the River Thames, is home of Parliament, Big Ben and the 11th-century Tower of London. It's also a multicultural, modern hub for the arts and business. Other large cities are Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and the university centres of Oxford and Cambridge.

Heritage Open Days 2010 - Tower House, Almondsbury
On Sunday, 12 September 2010, Tower House in Almondsbury, just north of Bristol, was opened to the public as part of South Gloucestershire Council's Heritage Open Days, in collaboration with English Heritage. This building (24 Gloucester Road, Almondsbury) was constructed in 1891 as an institute for adult learning, with convalescence rooms. It became a cottage hospital in 1910, and closed in 1992. It is now the private residence of Graham Pendrill, who featured in the national media, back in 2005, because of his connections with the Maasai people of southern Kenya. The tower contains a clock manufactured in 1892 by William Potts & Sons of Leeds.

N.B. Despite what is said twice in this video, the great clock in the Clock Tower at the Houses of Parliament, where the Big Ben bell is, was constructed by Edward John Dent.
