Smugglers and Ghosts at Rye Museum

Jo Kirkham talks to Richard Vobes, the Bald Explorer about the smuggling and ghostly activities of the 17th and 18th Centuries in the Rye area and on the Romney Marshes in Kent.
Rye Castle Museum is a small independent accredited museum that receives no government or council financial support. It relies for its income on visitor receipts, subscriptions, fundraising by members of the Rye Museum Association members and any successful grant applications.
Rye Castle Museum exists to provide access to an Scheduled Monument (the Ypres Tower or Rye Castle) and a collection of artefacts --presently housed primarily at a second site on East Street--that reflect the history of the Ancient Town of Rye; to ensure their continuous conservation and development; and to promote them to residents and visitors of all ages so that they can appreciate and understand the unique character of Rye and its surrounding landscape.
