Légende

Ypres Tower, Rye, Sussex, 1872. 'The town of Rye, contemporary with Old Winchelsea, still possesses a small harbour, formed by the confluence of the Rother with two other streams; but the sea is two miles farther away than it was of yore. The Ypres tower, at the south-east angle of the town, was built in Stephen's reign by William de Ypres, Earl of Kent, at which time the sea flowed just under the rock where the tower stands'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
