A must visit to step back into Rye's medieval times
Ypres Tower Museum, Rye Castle的点评
点评：We visited historic Rye on 11.08.25 😊
The Ypres Tower (pronounced "Wipers") is a historic, Grade I listed building.
Originally a medieval fortification, it has also functioned as a private dwelling, a courthouse and a prison.
The tower was likely built in the mid-to-late 14th century as a key part of Rye's town defenses against French attacks and the sea. It was originally known as "Baddings Tower".
In 1430, it was acquired by a cloth merchant named John de Iprys, and the tower has been named after him ever since.
The Corporation of Rye bought it back in the late 15th century and used it as a court hall and prison. A women's prison, or "Women's Tower," was added in 1837 after a series of lectures by prison reformer Elizabeth Fry.
The museum houses exhibits on local history, including smuggling, shipwrecks, military history, medieval pottery and a very original "garderobe" or medieval loo !
It also features original prison cells, a medieval garden with medicinal herbs, and the "Women's Tower".
From the top of the tower and the adjacent Gun Garden, there are panoramic views over the Romney Marsh and what was once a busy harbour 😊

翻译：我们于2025年8月11日参观了历史悠久的莱伊镇😊
伊普尔塔（发音为“Wipers”）是一座历史悠久的英国一级保护建筑。
它最初是一座中世纪防御工事，也曾用作私人住宅、法院和监狱。
这座塔很可能建于14世纪中后期，是莱伊镇抵御法国入侵和海上威胁的关键防御工事。它最初被称为“巴丁斯塔”。
1430年，一位名叫约翰·德·伊普里斯的布商买下了这座塔，此后塔便以他的名字命名。
15世纪后期，莱伊市政厅购回了这座塔，并将其用作法院和监狱。1837年，在监狱改革家伊丽莎白·弗莱的一系列演讲之后，这里增建了一座女子监狱，即“女子塔”。
博物馆内展出当地历史文物，包括走私、沉船、军事史、中世纪陶器，以及一个非常独特的“衣橱”（中世纪厕所）！
此外，博物馆还保留着原有的监狱牢房、种植着药草的中世纪花园，以及“女子塔”。
从塔顶和毗邻的炮台花园，可以俯瞰罗姆尼沼泽和曾经繁忙的港口全景😊
