Outside the Lifeboat House in Rye Harbour there is a very touching and unique memorial to some very brave men; the Mary Stanford Lifeboat Pebble Memorial. If you are in the area this is one thing that you should not miss viewing.

It's not everyone that can have the heads of a king and a king's wife on his tomb but Gervase Alard does. The delicately carved arch of the recessed canopy springs from the heads of King Edward I and his second wife, Margaret. This very imposing tomb shows Gervase Alard, an Admiral of the Cinque Ports, who was born in Winchelsea and was Winchelsea's first Mayor, in full armour with raised hands and a lion crouching at his feet. It is well worth seeking out if you are in the church.
