Notes |
- In an email received from Richard Farhall, Town Clerk of Rye, Sussex on 17 September 2002 he advised as follows:
"Richard Ruck was Mayor of Rye during the year of 1550 when he shared Mayoralty with George Raynoldes, and again in 1553. He had a son with the same name who never became Mayor but was a freeman of the town. There is no monument in the Town about him. However, Richard Ruck senior owned property at the end of Watchbell Street, down a small lane which is now called Watchbell Lane but originally half of it was called Ruck's Lane and this appears on Jeakes Map of 1667 which is reproduced in 'The Records of Rye Corporation'."
