This is an account, as complete as records extend, of the places of refreshment at Rye coming under licensing laws and our thanks are due to the Honorary Curator for the great amount of time and trouble he must have expended in its compilation. There are reproductions of bill-heads and other interesting matter and an alphabetical list with dates and locations of the fifty-three inns and alehouses which he has identified.

The Ancient Town of Rye, by G. S. Bagley, published 1960 (80 pp., Corporation of Rye) accessible at: East Sussex Libraries

This is the Official Guide to Rye and everything that a good guide should be and fully carries out the author's promise in the introduction that it is not a history of the town nor a repository of potted information hastily assembled from existing books, but gives an accurate account of the Borough within small compass - a slim volume that will fit the pocket or the handbag. No one should visit Rye without a copy of this guide.
