The Town of Winchelsea, nestled in the county of East Sussex in England, is steeped in a rich and abundant history. One intriguing aspect of this history is its association with the infamous smuggling gangs of the 18th and 19th centuries. The most notorious of these was the 'Hawkhurst Gang', which used the town's network of cellars and tunnels for their illicit activities. These underground passages, initially designed for legitimate purposes such as storage and drainage, became a haven for smugglers to move goods undetected. Today, a tour of these cellars provides a captivating glimpse into Winchelsea's intriguing past.

Fun Fact !
Another lesser-known fact about Winchelsea relates to its unique geographical layout. The town was one of the first examples of grid-pattern town planning in England. Following a catastrophic flood in 1287, which destroyed the old town, a new site was chosen on a hill and laid out in a grid pattern. This design, inspired by the 'bastide' towns of southwestern France, was a radical departure from the organic, unplanned growth of most Medieval settlements. The layout, which can still be seen today, stands as a testament to the town's resilience and innovative spirit in the face of adversity.
Wikipedia Says
Winchelsea () is a town in the county of East Sussex, England, located between the High Weald and the Romney Marsh, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south west of Rye and 7 miles (11 km) north east of Hastings. The current town, which was founded in 1288, replaced an earlier town of the same name, known as Old Winchelsea, that was lost to coastal erosion in the late medieval period. Winchelsea is part of the civil parish of Icklesham. The mayor of Winchelsea is chosen each year from amongst the members of the corporation, who are known as freemen, rather than being elected by public vote. New freemen are themselves chosen by existing members of the corporation. Thus, in its current form, the corporation is effectively a relic of Winchelsea's days as a 'rotten borough' (when Winchelsea elected two MPs but the number of voters was restricted to about a dozen, sometimes fewer). The corporation lost its remaining civil and judicial powers in 1886 but was preserved as a charity by an Act of Parliament to maintain the membership of the Cinque Port Confederation. The mayor and corporation in Winchelsea now have a largely ceremonial role, together with responsibility for the ongoing care and maintenance of the main listed ancient monuments in the town and the Winchelsea Court Hall Museum.
