Walk along the old town defences of Sandwich
This walk is on the western stretch of the old town defences for Sandwich, first built in 1384.
The water on the left is the Delf Stream. This was greatly improved by Dutch water engineers in the later 15th century. They built many sluices so that all the fields could be irrigated. Their network of artificial streams formed the water supply and sewers for the whole of Sandwich until the late 19th century.
In the distance on the left is The Butts - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3815069 for more information.

The Butts, Sandwich
This was where men in medieval times had to perform their archery practice. Henry V's archers probably practised here before they sailed to the battle of Agincourt in 1415.

View from the top of St Peter's Church tower
The Church of St Peter is very much at the centre of Sandwich. The present church dates from the late 13th and early 14th centuries, when Sandwich was at the height of its prosperity. The central tower fell in 1661 and destroyed the south aisle which was never re-built. The replacement tower is a 17th-century addition, and was built by Flemish protestant refugees in the style of their homeland churches.
Every day at 8pm, the curfew bell rings out, signalling that the townspeople should cover their fires to make them safe for the night. This was once known as the 'pigbell’, as it also informed people they could release their animals into the street.
The church is Grade I Listed and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. See http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurches/St-Peters-Church-Sandwich-Kent/ for more information.
The church is surrounded by attractive buildings as seen here, helped by the fact that Sandwich is the most complete medieval town in England. The impression is of a French or Dutch town because of its Flemish history. This view looks north-west towards Sandwich Windmill, right of centre in the distance.
