Hundred Years War Echo in Winchelsea Town
The town of Winchelsea, now about 500 residents, remains publicly at odds with France since 1337 and has a long quiet feud with a distant enemy. A 1953 end to the war is noted as mythic and the tale of Curd, last participant, captures a stubborn peace that never arrives.
