Great little gallery where Emma the owner sits painting and chats to you as you wander round to look at the array of items on sale, from paintings to postcards, jewellery and quirky books. Other galleries in the town are stuffy and expensive - this one is super-friendly, moderately priced and showcases the work of local artists. Definitely worth a browse - and browsers are welcomed

The Rye Waterworks is the first Micropub to open in South East Sussex. It is situated in a building steeped with history originally a water pump house for 300 years then a soup kitchen dating from the 1890s that's now been opened up as a feature within the micropub. A family business serving eight local ales and twelve local ciders along with a selection of wines, local gins, local vodka & local soft drinks. We're listed with CAMRA (campaign for real ale) and welcome families, dogs & people just wanting to have a nose around.

A fantastic micro pub in Rye, we’re always made to feel very welcome and you can see David is working very hard to make sure we have a good time even with the restrictions in place at the moment. Well worth a visit!
3. Spike Milligan's Grave

Not much there but a tombstone, but it IS Spike Milligan's tombstone. We just had to see it and we came to the pretty little town/village of Winchelsea especially. Spike was Irish and wanted "I told you I was ill" on his headstone, so it was engraved there in Celtic. He would have loved to have seen it! Bless his memory! Making us laugh even at his death. My dad loved Spike - praise indeed!
4. St. Mary's Parish Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 791 reviews
For more than 900 years the Parish Church of Rye, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, has dominated the hill on which the old town stands. Today, if you wish, you can climb the church tower where, from the top, you can see magnificent views of Rye and the surrounding countryside. St Mary's is open to visitors every day of the year, except for Christmas Day, from 9.15Am - 5.15Pm in summer and 9.15Am - 4.15Pm in winter. Admission to the church is FREE. The Visitor Centre stocks a good range of postcards, Christian greetings cards, prayer cards, books, gifts and Christian jewellery. The Tower, which is open every day (weather permitting) for a charge, has become a popular place for marriage proposals!

Well worth the very narrow stairs and ladders to get the best view of the town and particularly Rye Castle.

The Church of St Thomas the Martyr in Winchelsea is a very interesting, historic church both inside and outside. Inside it is light and airy with beautiful stained-glass windows and some interesting graves. Outside, there is evidence of how the church should have developed and, again, some interesting graves; particularly that of Spike Milligan.
