 The little town of Rye is perched on a sandstone
hill at the estuary of the river Rother, overlooking the Romney
Marches. It has a 12th century church, Augustinian Friary (the
Old Monastery), Rye Castle with its Ypres Tower and the old town
wall, originally built to protect the town from the French. The
town has altered little through the ages. Handsome Georgian buildings
jostle half timbered Tudor houses in the cobbled streets,unchanged
for hundreds of years. There are antique shops, art galleries,
book shops, potteries, splendid old inns and delightful tea shops.
