PreviousRye Castle Museum and the Ypres Tower
This private museum is housed in two separate buildings. The Ypres Tower, is a medieval fortification which fortunately survived the the town's burning at the end of the 14th century by the French. Built as a fort in 1250, the building has been used a private residence, a prison and a mortuary prior. Today, displays include smuggling memorabilia, ironwork, medieval pottery and the unique Romney Marsh Sheep. At the other half of the museum on East street, you'll see the old fire engine, displays of Rye's famed pottery such as the Sussex Pig. You'll also find relics of Rye's days as a Cinque Port such as uniforms and ship models.Location
