The ancient town of Rye has changed very little over hundreds of years. Built on a rock, it means traffic has had to by-pass the town thus preserving it well. Once almost completely surrounded by the sea, Rye was important in the time of Alfred the Great, providing ships and men for the navy. In the 13th and 14th centuries, however, it was frequently attacked by the French and was eventually burnt to the ground in 1377. The fascinating and atmospheric town of the present day is basically the one that grew from the ashes of the old, with 16th century timbered houses and winding cobbled streets. At the end of watch bell street you can see a Symbol of the bell once used in the past centuries to warn the towns people of impending raids from across the channel. ** AS PER GEOCACHING RULES YOU CAN ONLY CLAIM A FIND IF YOU SIGN THE LOG SHEET **
