Lamb House

Rye is an very old, very interesting place on the Sussex coast.
We washed up here because we liked the hotel. George the First washed up here in 1727 on his way back from Germany.

The new town is as you’d expect, post industrial and residential and a holiday park you can see from space. Have no idea what people do there.

The old town dates from the 12th century and was burnt down on a cross channel weekend visit by the French.
Twisty, cobbled streets, old warehouses from before the river silted up.

Lamb House was the biggest house in Rye with the biggest garden, almost an acre.

Henry James, the author, once owned it and wrote here. He installed a telephone room in the house, as you do, the first telephone in a residential building.

We know this because each of the room descriptions in the house have been corrected with an elegant cursive script.
There’s one in every crowd.Meer informatie
