THE RYE GATE ENTRANCE
Capt. Herbert Scarisbrick Naylor Leyland was MP for Colchester. Born 1864, he joined the Life Guards at 18. Went round the world. A very rich man. This caricature of him appeared in the Vanity Fair publication in 1894. (1894.08.09)
Why the name Rye Gate, you may ask? The 18th century historian, the Reverend Philip Morant, stated,
'Rye-gate, as it is vulgarly called; or rather Rhee or Rea-Gate, that is the River-Gate, as leading to the River. It was anciently named the North, or King's Scherde. 'Twas taken down in the year 1659.'
He referred to this gate as a 'postern', rather than a full 'gate', implying that it was a simple through way. Morant mentioned two other posterns as well, those at Sheregate and at St. Mary's. More of which later. Interestingly, he failed to make any mention of Balkerne Gate whatsoever, presumably because nobody at the time knew of its existence or significance.

Remember, we are still 'inside the walls' at this point.
