This old Cinque Port church (Cinque Ports were the five harbour towns on the south coast which in Medieval times provided the king with ships and men in exchange for trading and other privileges) is a local landmark. Much of today's building dates from 800 years ago, though it has been altered many times. The handsome tower with its distinctive onion dome top is a 17th-century addition - built by Flemish protestant refugees, in the style of their homeland churches. The dome would have been in place when American Founding Father Thomas Paine was married at St Peter's in 1759. There was once a Norman church on the site and traces of masonry from this building can still be seen at the west end.

We spent 4 days in a gorgeous B&B (Goss Hall) just outside Sandwich thinking the town would offer little to see or do - we just wanted to get away for a break. However Sandwich turned out to be a gem. The buildings are delightful, the history so interesting and there are more coffee shops than you can shake a stick at! The museum was small and interesting (could do with a spell checker though!) and the walks round so full of character. St Peter's itself was again full of history. The climb through the bell tower to the top was very rewarding. Overall a fabulous town with friendly helpful people. Wonderful.
