Abstract:		 Rye, the largest and wealthiest town in Sussex in the 16th century, was a major south-coast port. It was the only town of its size and importance in the south-east with a single parish church. The parish registers survive from 1538 and reveal the town to have been, in common with other major towns of the period, ravaged on numerous occasions by plague and other epidemics. This article analyses the nature and incidence of epidemic disease in Rye, its impact on the different age groups and social classes in the town and the measures taken by the authorities to prevent its spread, relating the experience of Rye to a growing body of research on epidemic disease in English towns in the early modern period.
