Peasmarsh, East Sussex

Nestling in the delightful countryside just 3 miles to the north west of Rye, Peasmarsh maintains a busy local community. The church of St. Peter and St. Paul lies about a mile from the village centre, showing that the population was struck down in the 14th Century with bubonic plague and the surviving inhabitants re-settled nearby. Peasmarsh is well served by two public houses, with another and also a motel on the village outskirts to the south. There is even a large independently-owned superstore, a filling station and a country hotel and leisure centre at the north edge of the village.
