Saints and Sinners
Churches, Chapels, Monks & Monasteries in Rye
St Anthony of Padua in Watchbell Street believed to be the only Spanish Romanesque church in Britain.
Visit the Gothic style church with the roof in the shape of an upturned boat at Rye Harbour
The only Spanish-Romanesque church in Britain (St Anthony’s of Padua); the oldest working church tower clock in Britain (St Mary’s, whose clock is half the age of the 900 year old structure); and a blend of the Gothic Revival and Arts & Crafts (Rye Harbour church) - just three ecclesiastical examples of the wealth of history and intrigue in the East Sussex town of Rye.
We provide a short history on the origins of the buildings, point out special features and activities to make sure that you get the most out of your visit. For those who want to venture outside Rye, visit the famous Romney Marsh churches - we feature locations and tours.
When you read the story of Rye’s Lifeboat disaster in 1928 you may like to take a trip to Rye Harbour to visit the Grade II listed boathouse - one of the most poignant reminders of the bravery of the Rye lifeboat crew.
Visit the buildings, and explore the history.
Martin Bradshaw’s original artwork will make a lovely souvenir of your visit and makes a perfect gift for friends who may visit.
