Abstract:		 This article seeks to examine the range and volume of employment opportunity in the four major towns of eastern Sussex between 1550 and 1660, and to correlate this, where possible, with the course of demographic change. Although three of these communities - Brighton, Hastings and Rye - were primarily dependent on maritime employment, especially fishing, such employment decreased sharply at Rye but expanded at Brighton and Hastings. This divergence is reflected in their demographic history. By contrast the employment structure of Lewes, also a maritime community, was much more broadly and securely based, reflecting its role as a major regional centre for marketing, retailing, manufacture, administration, professional services and residence by local gentry.
