For more than 900 years the Parish Church of Rye, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, has dominated the hill on which the old town stands. St Mary’s it is open to visitors every day of the year, except for Christmas Day, from 9.15 am – 5.15 pm in summer and 9.15 am – 4.15 pm in winter. The Tower, which is open every day (weather permitting) for a charge, has become a popular place for marriage proposals!
