C14 Aisled Hall

3 And 4 West Street is a substantially intact and rare example of a small early C14 aisled hall of high social status with a very early intact dais beam, very rare original chamber fireplace, late C14 crosswing and good quality late C15 or early C16 inserted wood and stone fireplace amongst other features of interest.

An early C14 domestic building of high social status which may have been a merchant's house or the Master's dwelling or possibly the communal hall of St. John's Hospital in the Cinque Port of New Romney. It postdates the 1297 inundation of New Romney when the River Rother was diverted to Rye and the sea gradually receded. - Historic England
