Description

Housed in Tower No. 74 — the most westerly of the Sussex Martello towers built between 1806 and 1810 as Napoleonic coastal defences — Seaford Museum contains local history collections with maritime and domestic artefacts. The circular two-storey brick tower with its dry moat is a fine example of these ingenious defensive structures. Note: the museum underwent ceiling restoration work in 2025-26; check the website before visiting.
