Protecting Rye’s historic heritage for future generations
The Society looks for examples of good conservation and also good modern design in the town and recognises them by giving those responsible a Townscape Award. We are seeking nominations for building work and restoration this year that you believe conserves and enhances Rye for future generations to enjoy.
Nominations have already been received for the restored window at St Mary’s Church, the new hanging sign at the Hope Anchor hotel, the extension to The George Hotel restaurant, the Lion Street Stores and the shops Violetta and Soldiers of Rye on the High Street. If you would like to add your nomination, or give your support to any of the above, please email us at ryeconservationsociety@sky.com.
In 2010, the Award went to Rye Art Gallery, which has since also been awarded one of Sussex Heritage Trust’s Public and Community Architecture Awards.
