Description

Lewes, a town with a tranquil appearance, holds many secrets within its alleyways and historic buildings. Its rich history spans prehistory to the present day, with various cultures leaving their mark - from the Romans to the Normans, and beyond. The town's past is woven into the fabric of everyday life, with landmarks such as the Priory of St Pancras and the prison that held Finnish soldiers captured during the Crimean War. Lewes has also been home to eccentric individuals, inventors, pioneers, and entrepreneurs who have shaped its history. The annual Bonfire Night celebration serves as a reminder of the town's complex religious heritage. Lewes' story is one of contrasts - violence, invention, creativity, and innovation all coexist in this historic town. This book invites you to explore Lewes' fascinating past and uncover its hidden stories.
