In 1940 there was a frenzy of activity across Britain to install new defences in anticipation of a Nazi invasion. Across Seven Sisters Country Park, you can still see the remnants of these defences in the form of pillboxes and Dragon's Teeth. #SevenSistersCountryPark

These #artefacts are Iron barbed hunting arrows. During the #medieval era, #hunting not only provided food but was a popular past time amongst the #wealthy. The entitlements to hunt were restricted to the #privileged. These arrows were discovered in Hangleton and #Lewes, #Sussex

This #money box dates to the #Medieval period and is made from #pottery. The box would have to be smashed to remove the #savings! Notice how narrow the slit is? That’s because Medieval coins were remarkably thin. Found in Rye, Sussex this money box is on display at #Lewes Castle

If you could live in any @sussex_society property forever, in its 1st form, which would it be? @romanpalace for the underfloor heating & decadence? @MichelhamPriory for the great hall & lake? @LewesCastle for the grandeur and the views? Anne of Cleves House for beauty & design?
