The Inside & Out of <strong>Rye</strong><br />
His<strong>to</strong>ric <strong>Rye</strong><br />
Writers and Artists<br />
Outside <strong>Rye</strong><br />
Perched on a hill, the medieval <strong>to</strong>wn of <strong>Rye</strong> is the<br />
sort of place you thought existed only in your<br />
imagination. Almost suspended in time, <strong>Rye</strong>’s<br />
unhurried atmosphere and enchanting streets<br />
draw visi<strong>to</strong>rs with their warm welcome.<br />
It’s small enough <strong>to</strong> make you feel at home<br />
almost straight away but holds enough secret<br />
treasures <strong>to</strong> entice you <strong>to</strong> stay much longer.<br />
You’ll find quality independent retailers not seen<br />
in anonymous malls. Luxury products, antiques,<br />
books, records and artisan goods are <strong>Rye</strong>’s<br />
speciality. Art and pho<strong>to</strong>graphy galleries are<br />
evidence of a flourishing creative community.<br />
Cobbled streets and narrow passages reveal<br />
architectural treasures among beautifully<br />
preserved Medieval, Tudor and Georgian<br />
buildings. Many are open <strong>to</strong> the public as fine<br />
restaurants, tearooms or pubs. And when you<br />
need a well-earned rest, retreat <strong>to</strong> the comforts of<br />
a bed & breakfast or hotel housed in ancient and<br />
quirky buildings but with every modern amenity.<br />
<strong>Rye</strong> is a place where people pride themselves on<br />
doing things differently. The Quarter Boys on<br />
the <strong>to</strong>wer of St Mary the Virgin don’t strike on<br />
the hour but on the quarter. Mermaid Street is<br />
peppered with ancient buildings, with unusual<br />
names such as ‘The House Opposite’ or ‘The<br />
House with the Seat’. Even the sea is a little<br />
wayward – it retreated from the <strong>to</strong>wn centuries<br />
ago, leaving <strong>Rye</strong> a stranded seaside <strong>to</strong>wn…<br />
Whereas many <strong>to</strong>wns boast a colourful past but<br />
have little evidence of it, <strong>Rye</strong> can bear testimony <strong>to</strong><br />
its eventful past.<br />
For centuries <strong>Rye</strong> s<strong>to</strong>od in the hill at the estuary of<br />
the River Rother, which provided a safe anchorage<br />
and harbour. <strong>Rye</strong> was an important place for<br />
shipment and s<strong>to</strong>rage of iron from the Wealden iron<br />
industry.<br />
As you wander around, look out for local landmarks<br />
like the Ypres Tower and Landgate Tower.<br />
Other buildings, such as Lamb House, (once the<br />
home of Henry James and later, E. F. Benson) in<br />
West Street are open <strong>to</strong> the public. Don’t miss the<br />
view from the <strong>to</strong>p of the <strong>to</strong>wer of the Parish Church<br />
of St. Mary’s and when you explore the churchyard,<br />
look out for the Town Water Cistern, built in 1735.<br />
<strong>Rye</strong>’s real moment of fame came in the 12th<br />
century when <strong>Rye</strong> and Winchelsea were attached<br />
<strong>to</strong> the Cinque Port Hastings as ‘Antient Towns’<br />
and later became members in their own right. The<br />
<strong>to</strong>wn’s duties involved supplying the King with ships<br />
and seamen, in return for freedom from taxation<br />
and self-government. 13th century s<strong>to</strong>rms changed<br />
the shoreline so it had a large, safe harbour.<br />
<strong>Rye</strong> survived frequent attacks from the French during<br />
this era and some of <strong>Rye</strong>’s most famous landmarks<br />
date from around this time.<br />
Perhaps <strong>Rye</strong>’s most exciting point in his<strong>to</strong>ry was the<br />
18th century when its prosperity depended as much<br />
on smuggling as any other trade.<br />
Many of these <strong>Rye</strong> residents have become world<br />
famous literary heroes, such as Henry James,<br />
Conrad Aiken, Joseph Conrad, H. G. Wells and G.<br />
K. Chester<strong>to</strong>n, whereas others like John Ryan have<br />
dreamt up popular s<strong>to</strong>ries such as the swashbuckling<br />
adventures of Captain Pugwash.<br />
Artists like Paul Nash and Edward Burra lived in <strong>Rye</strong><br />
which, <strong>to</strong>gether with the surrounding coastline, has<br />
been painted by artists such as Whistler, the Pre-<br />
Raphaelites and John Piper.<br />
<strong>Rye</strong>’s most famous and best-loved author is<br />
probably E. F. Benson, whose fictional <strong>to</strong>wn of<br />
Tilling is based on <strong>Rye</strong>. There are walks around E. F.<br />
Benson’s <strong>Rye</strong> during the summer. Full details from<br />
Alan Dowling 01797 223114.<br />
Walks wind their way through the his<strong>to</strong>ric<br />
landscape full of special wildlife, which can be<br />
enjoyed all year long. In late spring sea kale blooms<br />
on the shingle ridges of <strong>Rye</strong> Harbour Nature<br />
Reserve and marsh mallows flower in the ditches.<br />
Corn buntings can be heard singing and whimbrel<br />
flocks feed in the area. In summer dragonflies and<br />
damselflies dart over open water and marsh frogs<br />
bask in the sun at the edge of ponds. Autumn<br />
brings the spectacle of migrating birds and<br />
colourful fruit in trees and shrubs. In winter large<br />
flocks of lapwings circle over grassland and you<br />
might even be lucky enough <strong>to</strong> spot a bittern in the<br />
reed beds or little egrets in the saltmarsh.<br />
Camber renowned for its outstanding natural<br />
beauty with its miles of golden sands <strong>to</strong> be<br />
enjoyed all year round. With over half a mile <strong>to</strong> the<br />
water’s edge at low tide, visi<strong>to</strong>rs have plenty of<br />
opportunity <strong>to</strong> enjoy water sports, bracing walks or<br />
<strong>to</strong> beachcomb for beautiful shells. There is also a<br />
scenic cycle track from New Road (the A259 on the<br />
eastern outskirts of <strong>Rye</strong>) <strong>to</strong> Camber.<br />
Winchelsea is the ‘Antient Town’ of the Cinque<br />
Ports built in 13th century – here the sea receded<br />
<strong>to</strong> leave the <strong>to</strong>wn high and dry on an inland hill<strong>to</strong>p.<br />
Its picturesque Georgian houses have inspired<br />
many great artists such as Turner and Millais.<br />
This stunning village has stayed true <strong>to</strong> its<br />
ancient roots and is a quaint reminder of the<br />
area’s rich his<strong>to</strong>ry.
