(including Folkestone, 5 miles E.), 13, 591 ac., pop. 28,239; mun. bor., 2517 ac., pop. 4173; 1 Bank. Market-day, Saturday. Leland says that Hythe at one time had four parish churches and a fine abbey: that itwas formerly a place of some importance is further proved by its having been made one of the Cinque Ports. Its falling off is due to the harbour having been choked with sand and shingle. The town is pleasantly situated, and has some interesting antiquities; is well known through the Government School of Muskctry, the rifle butts, &c.; and has two forts, viz., Sutherland and Moncreiff. The bor. returns 1 member to Parliament.
