At the Water’s Edge

Reculver Towers, standing quietly between land, sea, history, and sky.

From above, the ruins take on a different kind of presence — weathered stone, open water, dramatic light, and the edge of Kent all meeting in one frame.

A place shaped by time, tide, and memory.

[mostly-history]

Regulbium (Kent, England).

The original Roman fort was built not long after the Roman invasion, next to the modern-day village of Reculver.  It was connected to Durovernum (Canterbury) by road.  A Saxon shore fort was built around 210, but by 360 the Roman military had mostly abandoned it.

The fort's design is similar to those along Hadrian's Wall in northern England.  This is probably because the Cohors I Baetasiorum, who according to the Notatis Dignitatum were garrisoned here, were previously stationed at Maryport in Cumbria, near Hadrian's Wall.  They probably built the fort of Regulbium as well.  Tiles stamped “CIB” have been found at the site.

A collage I did for my Mum, depicting Reculver Towers near Herne Bay, with Margate on the horizon. These places feature big in our personal family myth space....
