Rye Museum & Jo Kirkham

Ryecast

This week’s Ryecast has the definitive answer on how to pronounce the name of our castle – from THE expert. How do you say Ypres Castle? Rye Museum Chairman Jo Kirkham MBE explains all as she shares her knowledge & passion for Rye’s history and heritage, and chooses her favourite artefact. Plus, as she looks back at half a century as a Rye town councillor and many years as a JP, what would she change about Rye?

Ryecast presenter James Stewart has also been talking to Rye Museum director Juliet Duff who’s celebrating the museum’s contents, and what they tell us about our town’s history, in a series of articles for Rye News. For Juliet, it’s a very personal connection to a treasured painting of Rye.
