Cinque Ports Barons.

We've spent the day in Rye. It is a medieval town, with cobbled streets and narrow passages, with beautifully preserved buildings.
Rye's real moment of fame came in the 12th century when it became a Cinque Port. That meant that the town had to supply the King with ships and seamen, in return for freedom from taxation and self-government.
Today the Cinque Ports Barons, all 14 of them, met in Rye. Here are two of them talking with one of the guards of the council building, where they were going for lunch.
