Lewes Lass


 I thought we may have been able to locate the stone from the 'Lewes Lass' but after looking into it a bit further it seems it was wrecked onshore rather than the paper seems to suggest, just offshore.

The ship was broken up and used in the construction of two cottages, 1&2 Lewes Lass Cottages, Ninfield Rd, Sidley. The figurehead was perched up on the roof, sadly no longer.

Not sure if the cottages are there any longer but it seems Bexhill Museum has a picture of them.
