More about this scene
This view gives an idea of the regular and spacious layout of the town. Most houses are 17th- and 18th-century, but over thirty medieval undercrofts or cellars survive; they were used for storing Bordeaux wines, the basis of its trade.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
When I was born in 1949, my family were living in the above referenced house. Does anyone have any history on these houses, and perhaps who now owns 1?
I lived at Winchelsea Beach and attended Winchelsea school which was behind the Church.This was from 1925 to 1930 when my family moved to Eastbourne as a result of the 1928 disaster when the sea breached the shingle and flooded the whole area.The names of the streets were not known to me at that age but I do remember the scenes in these pictures. Bill Winchester. Now 94.
We used these steps up to Primary School and back twice a day 1955-1961.
We lived at the bottom of the Strand Hill where my Mother still lives today.
I still use the steps when I am there. I adore being in Winchelsea and truly hope to live there again
one day.
Unfortunately the Well does not look so beautiful these days but it still brings back many good
memories for me.
