Sandwich town walls: section from a point E of gasworks to site of New Gate (including The Bulwark and Mill Wall) is a surviving portion of the medieval fortifications encircling the Cinque Port town of Sandwich in Kent. The walls date primarily from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, when Sandwich was a prosperous and strategically important port and member of the Cinque Ports confederation. This particular section encompasses The Bulwark, a substantial defensive structure, and the Mill Wall, which ran along the eastern perimeter of the town adjacent to the River Stour. The surviving stonework represents a significant example of medieval urban defence architecture and remains one of the most substantial stretches of Sandwich's once-complete defensive circuit.
