The exact date of construction is unclearbut a castle in Rye was first mentioned in 1226 and again in 1249. Walls were added after an invasion by the French in the C14th. Since the time of Henry VIII there has been a gunbattery to protect the town and harbour from both the French and Spanish. `the castle may also have been used as a prison and in 1430 it became the property of John de Iprys, which lead to it being known as the Ypres Tower. It later became a prison and was so until 1891. It then became the town morgue!
