The Friends of the Ancient Monuments is a charitable organisation who, through fund raising events, support the Winchelsea Corporation in the maintenance of the Ancient Monuments in the Town - primarily the three Town Gates, the Court Hall, the Town Well and the Queen Elizabeth Well. The Friends also support improvements to the Museum, which is housed within the Court Hall building.

Each year the Friends hold a variety of functions, lectures, tours of the ancient cellars, entertainments and suppers to which all are invited throughout the year. Cellar tour details are available at theCELLAR TOURSwebsite and bookings can be made by email: cellars@winchelsea.com or via the Winchelsea Post Office and, during the Rye Festival, via the Rye Festival Box Office
