The Ship Hotel

The Original Ship was built of mainly ship timber brought from the old port of New Romney. The 1st recorded keeper is one Thomas Banne who is described as an "ostler" of the parish of Romney. The inn is mentioned in a will of 1579 when Samuel Dunstare directed that "mye hospicume and tenemente at Romneye nowne by name and syne of the Ship and lande and staybles theretoe belonginge be deliverede up to mye wyfe Emma who upon mye dethe shale inherite mye title and dedes". It is recorded that Emma Dunstare kept The Ship for 31 years after the death of her husband. In 1662 it is recorded that the inn underwent extensive alteration the thatch wattle and daub was removed in part and replaced with tiles and bricks. The present facade was erected in 1728. At the height of the coaching era of the mid to late eighteenth century The Ship was an established coach halt being situated on the main Rye to Dover route and is mentioned as a compulsory stop in the timetable of 1802.
