transepts and tower are of much later date, being rebuilt only in the last century. There is a brass to J. Bredgman, first mayor of Hythe, 1581. In the so- called crypt is a collection of skulls and bones, which Mr. Wright thinks may have come from some Anglo-Saxon cemetery in the neighbourhood, but which others believe to have been the gatherings from the four churches which Hythe possessed before the Eeformation. There are two ancient hospitals in the town, St. Bartholomew's, 1336, the founda...tion of Bishop Hamo, of Bochester, and St. John's, the history of which is unknown. Between Hythe and Shomclifife commences the Military Canal, 90 feet broad, which runs across the Eomney Marsh for a distance of 22lm. to Eye. It was made in 1805 for the conveyance of military stores, but it has never been of much use, and is now almost entirely superseded by the railway. Excursions : a, Saltwood Castle, Im. N., a charming walk. The castle is of great age, and was given to the See of Canterbury, 1026, by King Enut.
