CastleXplorer - Camber Castle (238 words)
Until the late 16th century, most of the low lying ground between Rye and Winchelsea was a shallow harbour, called the Camber, protected from the sea by a long series of shingle banks.
The existing tower at Camber was incorporated into a new fort built between 1539 and 1544.
By the end of the 16th century the silting of the Camber made the castle largely obsolete and in 1637 the garrison was disbanded.
