Rex and Rita Swain
Former Rye Town Crier Rex Swain in full cry

Rita, wife of former Rye town crier Rex, has passed away unexpectedly.

She had a number of falls recently (believed to be associated with Parkinson's disease) and developed a chest infection.

She and Rex managed to see each other twice whilst they were in the same care home, Mulberry House in St Leonards - where Rex is now.
