单词 cinque ports
释义

Cinque Portsn.

Etymology: In 13th cent. sink pors representing Old French cink porz, Latin quinque portus, five ports.
1.
a. A group of sea-ports (originally five, whence the name) situated on the south-east coast of England, and having jurisdiction along the coast continuously from Seaford in Sussex, to Birchington near Margate, including also Faversham, which have existed as an incorporation from an early period of English history.The five ‘Ports’ are in order of precedence Hastings, Sandwich, Dover, Romney, Hithe, to which were added in very early times the ‘Ancient Towns’ of Rye and Winchelsea, with all the privileges of ‘Ports’. Several of these have detached ‘Members’, of which Seaford, Pevensea, Fordwich, Folkstone, Faversham, Lydd, Tenterden, Deal, and Margate, are ‘Corporate Towns’ with the same jurisdiction and municipal functions as the parent Ports.In ancient times the Cinque Ports furnished the chief part of the English navy, in return for which they had many important privileges and franchises. These were mostly abolished by the Reform Act of 1832 and the Corporation Act of 1835. The Lord Wardenship is now chiefly an honorary dignity, and is usually conjoined with that of Governor of Dover Castle. See Vol. I of the Census Returns for 1871, and M. Burrows Cinque Ports.
