The original members of the body were Hastings, New Romney, Hythe, Dover, and Sandwich; to these were afterwards added the Ancient Towns of Winchelsea and Rye, and a great many other places, which, with the title of Link or Member, held a subordinate position. The C. P. were constituted to form a defence along the SE. seaboard of England. In the lack of any regular navy they furnished, until the reign of Henry VII., nearly all the ships and seamen requisite for the service of the State. In return for their services they enjoyed many important privileges. Their old charter, the oldest on record, being 99 years older than the first charter of the city of London, refers to previous documents of the time of Edward the Confessor and William the Conqueror. They are under the jurisdiction of a Lord Warden, who is admiral of the ports and also governor of Dover Castle. Their old organisation, however, has been broken up by the Municipal Reform Act, and the jurisdiction of the Lord Warden has been much modi- fied and diminished.
