Lewes & lewesonline.com ~ updates
Lewes - a quick intro…
Lewes nestles into the South Downs not far from its much larger and busier neighbour, Brighton and is packed with history, charm and character.
It was the site of the Battle of Lewes (May 14) 1264, boasts a Castle, a Priory (remains of), the Anne of Cleves House and many other historic buildings.
There are always events and exhibitions happening in Lewes with plenty of pubs and restaurants to visit if you are coming to stay. I’ll be adding details on this website as time goes by.
Finally there are the bonfire club celebrations on November 5th… an event not to be missed by any self respecting bonfire aficionado.
If you need a hotel, B&B, guest house or holiday let then Lewes has plenty and I advise contacting the Lewes Tourist Information Centre who have plenty of listings.
About lewesonline
lewesonline.com was one of the first websites to embrace, support, and help publicise Lewes in East Sussex on the internet.
In its heyday, lewesonline became very popular with locals and visitors alike, and rose to the top of the seach engine rankings very quickly. The website promoted local businesses, artists, musicians and events, and as such was a busy and vibrant hub of information about the town and the people who lived and worked here.
However, approximately 10 years ago I moved from Lewes, and wasn't able to develop the website any further.
In its old format, lewesonline became a source of embarrassment and so I have decided to take the it down and develop it in another, more relaxed direction. This way I should be able to keep the site alive, whilst supporting what I believe to be one of the most vibrant and exciting towns in the UK.
