Welcome to Lydd!
Lydd is a town and electoral ward in Kent, England, lying on Romney Marsh. It is one of the larger settlements on the marsh and the most southerly town in Kent. Lydd reached the height of its prosperity during the 13th century when it was a corporate member of the Cinque Ports, a "limb" of Romney. Actually located on Denge Marsh, Lydd was one of the first sandy islands to form as the bay evolved into what is now called Romney Marsh.
The parish of Lydd comprises the town of Lydd, Dungeness, Lydd-on-Sea, and parts of Greatstone-on-Sea.
Notable buildings in Lydd include the Gordon house long hall, a guildhall, and a medieval courthouse. Chamberlains and churchwardens accounts of the 15th century survive alongside the town charters.
