Walking Around Rye - Pt. 2

Back in Rye for this post. You may remember a few posts ago when I posted on The Mermaid Inn in Rye.
This post concentrates on the Saturday afternoon of our house church weekend away. Saturday afternoon is always free time so having a cousin nor too far away we planned to meet up with them in Rye.

Here we have parked the car and are off to meet with them.

We meet at the church at the top of the hill here

and go up to the top of the tower for some photographs 

Looking down over the town

and to the south with Rye Castle in the centre.

Rye, a lovely Medieval town, was at one time surrounded by the sea on 3 sides and dates back to Norman times

Our way back down

These wooden steps lead to a very steep and narrow stone stairway

As we leave the church we look left

and then right where we see the Town Crier

he is here to announce a wedding

walking down the hill

and looking back 

The wedding party has walked down the hill to their wedding reception at the above hotel. We did not wait for the bride and groom to come out onto the balcony

We make for one of the many tearooms

It is cold and my cousin and I have lots to talk about

the pub opposite

with the old bell at the entrance

After a good visit we make our way back to our starting point

and say our goodbyes

my cousin is camera shy when it comes to the net

don't say I blame her

and lastly a photo from a previous Summertime visit

This was a quick visit but in the next posts I will be taking you walking round the oldest and most beautiful parts of this lovely town as when the conference is over Alan and I will be staying in the area another two nights
