Romney Deanery takes its name from the Romney Marsh, an expansive and atmospheric area of marshes on the southern side of the County of Kent, and part of the Diocese of Canterbury.
On the northern side, the deanery includes the range of hills that formed the coastline in Saxon times, ranging from the Isle of Oxney in the west to Lympne in the east.

On the southern side, sandy beaches and the peninsula of Dungeness form the boundary with the English Channel .

Within this area, 23 parishes are linked together to form the deanery, most of which have mediaeval churches that attract many tourists and those interested in heritage.  

Almost all have regular Sunday services, and are an integral part of their local communities. The churches and clergy in the deanery work together as much as possible on various combined events, and also in helping to provide religious education in the primary schools that also serve the deanery.
