The Bulletin  

THE AUSTRALIAN POLITICAL SCENE PAGE  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 78—No. 4023  

Wednesday, March 20, 195?  

Price 1/-  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

No. 34!: the Homeland Series by the House of Seppelt.  

RYE'S MERMAID INN HAS SHELTERED MANY SMUGGLER  

THE well-known song, “There’s an old-fashioned house in an old-fashioned  

street,” is said to have been written of Mermaid-street, in the Sussex town  

of Rye. 63 miles from London.  

This cobblestoned street, which is sometimes claimed as the most  

picturesque street in England, drops down the steep western slopes of the  

town to the site of the vanished Strand Gate and the old harbor. The roadway  

is lined with attractive houses., which have been reprouduced in countless  

paintings and sketches by artists whose ambition has been to capture the  

mellow atmosphere of Elizabethan England.  

Here stands the Mermaid Inn, which remains substantially unaltered since  

the 16th century. It was known to at least one of Shakspeare’s contemporaries,  

the dramatist John Fletcher, who was born at the Old Vicarage in 1579. Other  

literary figures who lived in Rye were Henry James (1843-1916) and the late  

E. F. Benson, the author of the standard work on the life of Charlotte Bronte.  

The Mermaid Inn is believed to have,been built in the early 15th century  

and at that time it covered the whole of Mermaid Passage. In coaching-days  

it was used as hostelry and the horses were accommodated in stables behind  

the inn. It was popular resort of smugglers and highwaymen and much  

evidence of their visits was discovered in the form of booty when structural  

alterations were being made to the building. During recent years the inn  

has been thoroughly restored and the decorations which were carried out  

by James Guthrie, the noted artist and printer, have added much to the  

medieval atmosphere of this ancient inn.  

In Elizabethan days Rye was one of the chief cross-Channel ports and  

Mermaid-street led directly to the quay and the harbor. After the massacre  

of St. Bartholomew's Day (August 24, 1572) hundreds of French Protestant  

refugees poured into Rye, which for many years became the centre of large  

Huguenot community.  

Rye received its charter of incorporation as borough in 1289 and the  

Mayor is entitled to the rare privilege of two maces, one as mayor of the  

borough and the other as the Queen’s bailiff.
