Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HERNE BAY , a seaside resort in the St
Augustine
 's parliamentary division of Kent, England, 8 m. N. by E. of Canterbury, on the
South
  Eastern and Chatham railway. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901) 6726. It has grown up since 183o, above a sandy and pebbly shore, and has a pier ; m. long. The church of St Martin in the
village
  of Herne, 14 m. inland,
Ridley (1538), afterwards Bishop of London. At Reculver, 3 M. E. of Herne Bay on the
coast
 , is the site of the Roman station of Regulbium. The fortress occupied about 8 acres, but only traces of the
south
  and
east
  walls remain. In Saxon times it was converted into a palace by King Ethelbert, and in 669 a monastery was founded here by Egbert. The Early English church was taken down early in the 19th century owing to the encroachment of the sea, and parts of its fabric were preserved in the modern church of St Mary. But its twin towers, known as the Sisters from the tradition that they were built by a
Benedictine
  abbess of
Faversham
  in memory of her sister, were preserved by Trinity
House
  as a conspicuous landmark.
