Part 4 - Rye

We had never been to Rye so it was a pleasant surprise to find such a lovely picturesque town. We walked around all the sites and made a visit to Lamb House, a National Trust property.

Novelist Henry James lived at Lamb House, Rye, Sussex, from 1898 to 1916 and wrote several of his books there, in the green room in the winter and in a garden pavilion during the summer. Unfortunately the pavilion was destroyed by a bomb in WWII.




In the back garden of Lamb House.


The Mermaid Inn built in 1156.



There were many interesting front doors throughout Rye, here is one (two) of them (read the names).





This is one of the guns used to repel the French. However they did get through occasionally.
