Today, Rye is a small town with a population of about 4,000. There was probably a settlement and port here in Roman times.
William the Conqueror invaded England a little further along this coast in 1066. Rye itself was spared from the pillaging of his soldiers because the town was owned by French monks. The town reverted to English ownership in 1247. By medieval times, Rye prospered, largely because of maritime trade.
