Pipewell Gate gave access to the ferry and later to the road which led from Winchelsea to Rye.
Its alternative name is Ferry Gate. It is newer than the others. Destroyed in the French attack in 1380, it was rebuilt in 1404 by John Helde the Mayor. The remains of his shield can be seen on the ferry side of the gate.
