Looks like a quaint little town. Nice series.

I really enjoyed every one of these - particularly the second one in which the red flower contrast with the gray stone. How old are these things?

Thanks for posting these.

The current Winchelsea was planned after 1250 when the original town was being taken over by the sea. The church would have been built early on and was the size of a modest cathedral.
The (new) winchelsea is laid out on a flat hilltop in a neat grid with wide streets, in contrast to nearby Rye wich is a warren of lanes and alleys.
A few more pics below.
