Mainly Georgian, this is
the atmospheric county town of East Sussex and
lies on the banks of the River Ouse in the
South Downs.
Settled by the Saxons, it has a
ruined 12th century castle whose keep
dominates the area.
It was the scene of a key
battle in the early 13th century when Henry
III was defeated by rebellious barons led by
Simon de Montfort. |
