Rye is a historic market town and port situated in East Sussex, England. Dating back to medieval times, this small town is known for its well-preserved historic center with cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses. Once positioned directly on the sea, Rye was an important member of the medieval Cinque Ports confederation. Today, the town sits two miles from the coast due to centuries of silting of the harbor.
The town's rich history is reflected in its architecture, including the 12th-century St. Mary's Church and the Ypres Tower, which formed part of Rye's medieval defenses. The town has long been associated with writers and artists, attracting creative individuals drawn to its atmospheric streets and scenic location. Its cultural heritage includes connections to authors Henry James and E.F. Benson, who both lived in Lamb House, now managed by the National Trust.
