Tips
For more than 900 years, St Mary the Virgin Church has dominated the old town hillside. When the church was built in the 12th century, this area was held, under a Royal deed, by the Abbey of Fecamp in Normandy. It is because of this link, and the fact it was an important member of the Cinque Ports Confederation, that Rye has such a spectacular church, which is often referred to as the ‘Cathedral of East Sussex'.

Spacious old church. For a small entrance fee, the tower can be climbed with a good view.

Not only the church, but also the old cemetery is worth a visit!
Interesting gravestones, ancient huge trees and lots of benches to take a break from walking on the cobblestones!translated by•April 7, 2024
