A quintessentially-English town, Sandwich has a fascinating history. The small town was once an important trade hub and part of the Cinque Ports network on the coast. The medieval buildings and old pubs in town hark back to this era.

Sandwich's most notable role in history is perhaps its ties to the popular food, the humble sandwich. John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, allegedly invented the sandwich in the 18th century, putting together two pieces of bread and meat.

Elmstone Church

Highlight • Historical Site

Elmstone Church, located in the village of Elmstone in Kent, is an Anglican church dating from the 13th century and was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1963. The church is notable for its architecture, with a Norman-period nave and lower chancel built of flint. The church has no dedication to a specific saint, which is rare for Anglican churches in the United Kingdom. Inside there are beautiful stained glass windows, including one depicting the Passion of Jesus, and a Norman baptismal font made of Bethersden marble. The church also has a square tower at the north-west corner and a 19th-century organ that was once in the chapel at Hatfield House.
