Who We Are

Rye Conservation Society exists to safeguard our historic town and to preserve its special and distinctive character.  Living or working in a Conservation Area of national significance, places responsibility on all of us - residents and businesses alike. Modern life and environmental pressures require change; our challenge is to ensure this takes place sympathetically, in keeping with our rich architectural heritage.

Your feedback is welcome.  If you have any suggestions for the site, or you notice any corrections which need to be made please email us with your comments.

Our Aims

To provide information and advice on the maintenance and repair of listed and non listed buildings

To provide a focus on issues impacting on the local environment

To raise awareness of green and environmental issues in a historic town

The Shapes and Materials of Rye

Medieval buildings mix with Georgian houses, Victorian buildings, Dutch gabled properties and historic churches.  The blend of architectural styles is what makes Rye a unique place.  See Gallery for examples and information about the different shapes and materials of Rye.
