If you are looking for Christmas gifts, how about some books published by the Friends of Lewes about our remarkable town?
These would be ideal for a friend or family member who grew up here but who has moved away, or for a newcomer, who has yet to learn what a truly special place it is.
Friends of Lewes books are available from Jane Slater via the Secretary (with postage and packing added to prices shown), and from the Lewes Tourist Information Centre. Friends of Lewes members can obtain books at reduced prices via the Secretary. P&P charges will be waived for Members’ orders received during December each year.
