An information board about a possible late Roman Christian church. Richborough was used during the entire length of the Roman occupation, from the invasion of AD 43 until the end of Roman rule around 410. Though now inland, at the time of the invasion it lay on the Kent coast, and it was here that the Roman forces first came ashore. The site developed from a beachhead into a military supply base, then into a thriving port town. About 250 the site became a massive fort, one of the Saxon Shore Forts. After the Romans left, a 10th century Anglo-Saxon church was built and the site was occupied until the 15th century. The remains are listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1363256 The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and there is much detail and history at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1014642
