Overview

History & significance

Part of a Cistercian grange, north of New Romney High Street is a fragmentary survival of monastic agricultural infrastructure associated with Romney Priory, a Cistercian establishment in Romney Marsh, Kent. The grange represents the practical economy of the Cistercian order, which relied upon outlying granges to manage pastoral and arable production distinct from the monastic precinct itself. Dating to the medieval period, the surviving remains reflect the substantial landholdings and economic organisation characteristic of Cistercian houses in southern England. The site's preservation within the landscape north of New Romney preserves evidence of the extensive monastic exploitation of the Romney Marsh environment during the Middle Ages.
