The Ypres Tower At Rye
The French were extremely interested in England back in the 1240's.
To curb this French enthusiasm, his majesty the king Henry III ordered there to be built this rugged structure on the edge of the kingdom.
The Ypres Tower or Rye Castle was constructed as part of the defence against the raiding armies from across the channel in 1249.
Rye itself is a charming little English town in East Sussex that lies between the confluence of three rivers and the sea.
The charm is even more visible from the top of St. Mary's Church from where you can see the rustic rooftops of this well preserved 13th century town.
📷 About the camera
The photos in the blog post were taken with my favourite film camera. It is the Olympus 35 RC, a very small and portable 35mm film rangefinder camera. It has a fixed lens with a 42mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8.

What a beautiful town. Lovely photos too. I didn't know anything about that place so I've learned something. Thanks for including the map.
My pleasure. So many of these hidden (to me) gems all over the place. I'm going to find them all haha.
Damn. Your images are always breathtaking!
This is just the kind of places I need to be :D
:) Thank you @elsiekjay - it is a really nice place indeed.
