Lewes, the county town of East Sussex, started out as a bridging point and market town. Steeped in history, scholars believe it is possible that the civil parish was home to the Roman settlement of Mutuantonis. It doesn't stop there, however. The castle was built by William de Warenne, son-in-law of William the Conqueror, in 1069 after the Norman Invasion. Originally known as Bray Castle, this impressive building stands at the highest point of Lewes and is well worth a visit. Intercepted by the River Ouse, there are a number of gorgeous countryside walks to take advantage of in this charming ancient town. This collection illustrates the culture and character of Lewes, taking us on a journey through its historical past.
