Winchelsea New Gate
Located on Wickham Rock Lane south of Winchelsea, East Sussex, England.
From the plaque: "The New Gate was built in the 13th Century and was the only entry into the town by land. It was through this gate that the French are said to have gained entry in 1380, perhaps by treachery. This was probably the most serious of their incursions into Winchelsea. Under the Admiral of France, Jean de Vienne, they not only sacked this town but also are said to have burnt Hastings, Appledore, Rye and Portsmouth. The House of Commons petitioned the King for some remedy 'because if those towns (Rye and Winchelsea) were taken, which God forbid, the whole country would be destroyed'."
