Out yesterday with Pauls Pix 53 for a wander around Rye.

I decided to have a mono day in a vertical 4x3 ratio and getting the camera close to the ground. However, I felt the pics from inside the church looked a bit better in colour. It is the Church of Saint Mary, Rye.

Thank-you for visiting, & taking the time to comment!

Wikipedia: Rye is a small town and civil parish in the Rother district, in East Sussex, England, two miles from the sea at the confluence of three rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In medieval times, as an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, and almost entirely surrounded by the sea.

Its historical association with the sea has included providing ships for the service of the Crown in time of war, and being involved in smuggling. The notorious Hawkhurst Gang used its ancient inns The Mermaid Inn and The Olde Bell Inn, which are said to be connected to each other by a secret passageway.

Those historic roots and its charm make it a tourist destination, with hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, tea rooms, and restaurants.[3] One such hotspot is Mermaid Street, which was named one of the most instagrammed streets in the UK.[4] Rye also has a small fishing fleet, and Rye Harbour has facilities for yachts and other vessels.

Ypres Tower, also known as Rye Castle, is a defensive tower, probably built as a component part of the Rye town defences between 1329 and the end of the C14. The tower was damaged during an air raid in 1942 and required repair in the 1950s. It was the subject of major repairs and restoration in 1996-7 with further alterations and repairs in 2005-7.

Tthe tower is unusual in its form being relatively small and compact, yet massively built of local stone. It is substantially intact with later phases of adaptation for judicial/prison use adding to its interest and character. (Historic England)

We stayed about 50 metres down the road at Jeakes House. It was the second time that we stayed there.
