Story · Lewes Castle

You're standing at Lewes Castle, the medieval castle of Lewes, just north of the high street. Have a look around. The castle sits high up, and that's no accident. From here you could keep watch over the gap the River Ouse has cut through the hills of the South Downs. It was originally called Bray Castle.
