TQ9016 : New Gate, Winchelsea, E SussexA site visitor has said "Winchelsea was originally 4x larger than it now is, going as far as this gate. It was devastated by the Black Death, and the population numbers never recovered, due to the silting up of the River Brede. In its heyday it was the largest importer of wine in England, and it s still possible to visit the vast wine cellars."
