Rye has never been in Kent in any fashion at all. This was straight error -
I have heard conversations that tended that way. The manner in which Rye
looks principally to Romney Marsh tends to cause some association in
people's minds with Kent, I suspect. Despite coastal change in that area,
there is no doubt Rye has always been south and west of the Limen or
Rother. It has always been "Sussex". I think error has to be considered as
a cause of attribution to incorrect admin divisions
