The society is dedicated to honouring the town’s rich heritage, enhancing its urban and natural landscapes, and preserving the historically significant Pann Mill, which was rescued from demolition. It has its roots in the 1960s campaign to protect the Rye from development and aims to actively shape the development of the town and environment through the efforts of its working groups.

We are an active and friendly society with over 300 members. We encourage you to browse our website and learn more about our society and its activities. If you find that our interests and work align with your own, we wholeheartedly invite you to join us.
