Museums in East Sussex
There are two museums lumped together under the umbrella of the Rye Castle Museum. The more historic of the two is the Ypres Tower site. The tower is one of the oldest buildings in Rye; it was built in 1249 and houses local pottery, displays relating to smuggling, armour, replica medieval weapons, and a recreation of a medieval herb garden.

A museum of local history of this ancient Cinque Port town, housed in a historic Martello Tower at the eastern end of Seaford's seafront. The unusual museum building has been nicknamed 'The Tardis', presumably because the interior displays far more than the exterior would suggest!

The Regency Town House is a lovely early 19th-century building, located on Brunswick Square in Hove. This Grade I listed house was rescued from the modern rebuilding which affected many of its historic neighbours. It stands as a wonderful example of elegant Regency architecture, and a reminder of a way of life that has disappeared.
