Eastry is a village and civil parish in the Dover district, in Kent, England, around 2+1⁄2 miles (4 km) southwest of Sandwich.

In the Early Middle Ages, Eastry was part of the Kingdom of Kent and was an important administrative centre.

According to the legend, the royal residence was passed to the priory of Christchurch in Canterbury as penance for the crime.

The site of this ancient palace is believed to now be occupied by Eastry Court, adjacent to the church.

[4] Eastry's Grade I listed[5] Anglican church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.

It was one of Colonel Stephens' lines, but was nationalized in 1948 becoming part of British Railways, Southern Region.
