Before the dismantlement of the monasteries by Henry VIII and his crew, Lewes was one of the wealthiest in the country. When the Victorians were putting the railways in they dynamited the ruins that were in their way. It's surprising that there's anything at all. For many years there was a "keep out, danger" sign on the walls. Now there is a park with ruins in it and informative signs to suggest what it might have been like.
I'm amazed at how photos taken with my phone come out!
