Lewes


My wife and I spent a lovely sun filled couple of days in Brighton this weekend with friends and today we hopped over to Lewes (10 miles away) for some lunch. I spotted this sign while walking around, it commemorates leading light of the Enlightenment Thomas Paine who lived in the town in the 18th century I hadn't realised Lewes was such a historical place! There was also a pub called "Rights of Man" which is the title of one of Paine's famous books, I snagged a picture of that too (see below), the pub is owned by Harvey's Brewery another famous historical resident of the town!
