In the middle of the twelfth century, Rye was an important member of the medieval Cinque Ports confederation, it was almost entirely surrounded by the sea. Its historical connection with the sea included the provision of ships for the service of the Crown in wartime and participation in smuggling. The notorious Hawkhurst gang used their ancient inns The Mermaid Inn (built 1156) and The Olde Bell Inn (built 1390), which are reputedly connected by a secret passage.
