London to Lewes Way London to Lewes Way The London to Lewes Way is a long Roman road between Watling Street at Peckham and Lewes in Sussex. The road passes through Beckenham and West Wickham, then crosses the North Downs above Titsey, on the county boundary between Surrey and Kent, and is overlain by Edenbridge High Street. The road continues on this alignment onto the high ground of Ashdown Forest, where the more grassy vegetation on the silted up outer ditches contrasts very clearly with surrounding heather in aerial photographs, then descends through Piltdown to Lewes, linking with the Sussex Greensand Way at Barcombe
Lewes did 'not lend itself to such a noble piece of statuary.' On 26 February 1917, "The Kiss" was once more taken to the stable block where it was to remain until Warren's death in 1928. After a short period on loan to Cheltenham, "The Kiss" was purchased in 1953 by public subscription and is now one of the Tate's most popular attractions. It returned on loan to Lewes in 1999 for the exhibition "Rodin in Lewes". "The Helmet" (1964), by Enzo Plazzotta stands in the grounds of Lewes Priory. The "Cuilfail Spiral" (1983) by Peter Randall-Page sits on the roundabout
