The now ruined St James' Church in Dover was once the meeting place of the official courts of the Barons of the Cinque Ports. The last such meeting took place in 1851 and was presided over by the Duke of Wellington, who was Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Born Arthur Wesley on 1st May 1769 in Dublin, he died, aged 83 on 14th September 1852 at his official residence, Walmer Castle in Kent.
