River Brede
The River Brede is an English river in East Sussex. It flows into the Rock Channel (tidal section of the River Tillingham) and then onto the River Rother at Rye, Sussex. It takes its name from the village of Brede, which lies between Hastings and Tenterden. Etymology The river takes its name from the village of Brede.

Prior to the fifteenth century, the river was known as the ''Ee'' or ''Ree'', which simply means 'river' in Old English. A new channel was then constructed for much of its course downstream from its junction with Doleham Ditch, slightly to the north of the Ee, and running parallel with it, which was for many years known as ''the Channel'', but subsequently became the Brede. History The Brede flows through a wide valley in its lower reaches, surrounded by marshland which is at much the same level as the river. After passing close t ...
