WALMER, (Kent) on the S. of Deal, towards Dover, is 4 m. 1-half S. E. from Sandwich, of which it is a member, having been united to it by Hen. VIII. who built a castle here, for defence of the Downs. The manor anciently bel. to the Criolls, and went by marriage to several other families, till it was purchased in the R. of Cha. I. by Ja. Hugissen of Lingstede; from whom it descended to William, his great grandson. Between this castle and Deal, Caesar is supposed to have landed, in his first expedition to Britain.
