Description

Lewes és la capital del comtat de l'East Sussex, i dóna també nom al districte on es troba. El lloc té una llarga història com a nus de comunicacions i mercat. Avui continua essent un important centre de comunicacions i una ciutat orientada al turisme, amb grans idees per defensar l'economia local com l'ús del cooperativisme i la creació d'una moneda pròpia. D'entre les moltes activitats culturals destaquen les òperes al Glyndebourne Festival.

Hi ha dues propostes etimològica sobre el nom de Lewes. Una diu que és la forma en plural d'una paraula anglosaxona Hlaew, que significa «turó». Això es podria referir a les petites muntanyes dels South Downs o als antics túmuls funeraris de la zona. Segons una altra teoria, el nom derivaria d'una paraula en angles antic poc freqüent lǣw que vol dir «tall, escletxa», també relacionat amb la vall del riu Ouse, que s'obre pas entre la línia dels South Downs.
