This stands on the Marshes, about one mile from Rye or Winchelsea, and formed one of a chain of fortresses built by Henry VIII. about 1539. The others are Walmer, Deal, Sandgate, and Sandown ; they were built by means of special taxation. Camber is about a mile from the sea, but was formerly close to it, and consists of a strong central circular tower surrounded by five smaller ones, connected by short curtains. It has been in ruins for centuries, and is now covered with wall-flowers and wall germander. It will, however, repay a visit.
