Book excerpt: This new illustrated history traces Rye's origins from the Norman Conquest until beyond its period of great prosperity under the Tudor monarchs. Many inhabitants were fishermen on small-scale merchants and owned vessels which they supplied for the king's ship-service, transporting members of the royal family across the Channel or, in wartime, carrying horses and provisions for soldiers. In times of truce Rye's mariners turned to piracy and wrecking, disrupting the cross-Channel trade on which the town's economy also depended. During the Hundred Years War the townsfolk reinforced the defences and, in response to the huge mortality of the Black Death, they endowed an Augustinian Friary so that the brothers would pray for their health and souls. But then Rye entered a period of economic stagnation which saw the disappearance of many trades and crafts that had supported the residents and supplied mariners calling at the port. Rye's revival came towards the end of the 15th century after the harbours of nearby ports such as New Romney and Winchelsea had been damaged by storms and silting. New houses, shops, fishermen's lofts and garrets were built, public buildings were erected on the quayside and a piped water supply replaced the outlying medieval springs. Rye became a prosperous, if crowded, town and its Protestant sympathies and close links to the Continent ensured the arrival of many Huguenot refugees. For over a century Rye continued as the major port in south-east England but as its own harbour silted it was finally eclipsed by Dover in the 17th century. Rye was an Ancient Town which formed part of the important Cinque Ports confederation in the Middle Ages, yet has remained a small town 'almost suspended in time'. This fascinating account explains why modern Rye has its unique appearance and will enlighten those wanting to know more about its past.

And it is to wit, that in the said court of Shepway, nor in any other court of all the ports, within all the franchise, shall there be any plea but in English, the which hath been peaceably used time out of mind. Causes and articles moved within the franchises, that be not determined within the usage of the Cinque Ports, they claim to use and determine after good faith and equity, and natural law of the land. 37. Of the Coronation. Aho they used, that when any King of England, or Queen, shall he crowned, the Barons of the Cinque Ports be wont, by the summons of the King's writ to them directed, to come to the said coronation, and do their due service; to receive their summons in the King's court, by 40 days warning, viz.--the day of coronation the two cloths shall be borne by the said barons over the King and the Queen, viz. by 32 barons of the five ports, and by no other. And these 32 barons shall come in a suit of clothing of their own cost, but their expences for the time they shall be in the court, shall be upon the barons. And when they have done their office, the said barons be wont, and of right they claim of both cloths, with all the apparel, as hath been aforesaid. And thereof the barons of Hastings, and their members, shall have one cloth; and the barons of Romney, Hithe, Dover, and Sandwich, the other cloth, and all their apparel. And the barons of the ports that come there, are wont to have the table in the great hall, on the King's right hand, of common right, in the same manner the Barons of the Cinque Ports were wont to have at every consecration of any archbishop the table on the right hand. And all the other points and liberties they claim, that be comprehended in their charters of grants of divers Kings. Thus ends the...
