Church and viewpoint · 45 min · at the top of the citadel · clock pendulum on view

The parish church occupies the highest point of the hill, on Church Square, and is the centre of the walk round the citadel. Inside, the clock pendulum of the tower, dating from 1561, hangs in full view in the nave. The tower is climbed by narrow stairs and has the best view of Rye's rooftops, the marshes and the sea: it usually opens almost every day from 10:00 to 16:00, except in bad weather, during services or events, and a small payment is made at the church shop.
