St. Mary's Parish Church, Churchyard and the Old Vicarage are all on top of Rye's hill, at the heart of Rye's "Old Town." The famous Mermaid Inn was founded in 1156, nearly 900 years ago. East Sussex, England.

Poem.

Landmark.
Top of the town.
Seen for miles.
Above former cliffs.
Silting of shallow seas
and land reclamation
stranded this “Cinque Port,”
over two miles from the shoreline,
since Roman times.
Views from the tower-
expansive.
The town.
Meandering River Rother.
River harbour.
Romney Marsh and sheep.
Winchelsea-west.
Dymchurch-east.
Old town around Church Square
is a time-tunnel
to cobbled streets,
half-timbered houses.
Wonderful.
Different.
Unique.
Fascinating stories of
Pirates, smuggling, secret tunnels
and the fearsome Hawkhurst Gang,
in the Mermaid Inn.
Rye is a special place.
