Tudors, number 67 The Mint, was built in the 16th century. Timber framed, plastered, jettied to the street, all under a tile roof. The ground floor of the house had been underbuilt in brick, has been restored using old timbers. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1251662 Rye is a small town in East Sussex, some nine miles northeast of Hastings. It lies at the confluence of three rivers, the Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In medieval times it was an important fortified town and harbour, almost entirely surrounded by the sea but now two miles inland. A very attractive town, Rye still operates as a port but its economy is heavily dependent on tourism.
