Rambling Sketches: Winchelsea, 1895. 'Strand Gate; The Church; Wesley's Tree; The Look Out; Camber Castle. This ancient Cinque Port is full of interest to every lover of the picturesque. It has memories in which antiquaries delight, and beauties which are none the less because they bear the impress of centuries. Our Illustrations show various parts of Winchelsea, including the tree under which that indefatigable home missionary, Wesley, preached. In days of war to the knife the town gave a good account of itself, as its battlements testify. One of its modern claims to notice may be the fact that here Miss Ellen Terry has spent many days, diligently conning the lines which were afterwards to thrill thousands on both sides of the broad Atlantic'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
