The Lewes Castle Sausage is made by Frank Richards and Sons Butchers of Western Road.

Proceeds from the sale of bangers are going to a campaign to pay for repairs and improvements at Lewes Castle and Barbican House Museum.

The sausages are also being sold in the Brewers Arms pub in the High Street. They are flavoured with Harveys Castle Ale, donated by the brewery.

Peter Richards from the butchers was joined by Paul Simmonds, chef at the Brewers Arms, to present a cheque for 500 to Sally White, property manager at Lewes Castle and Barbican House Museum on Thursday last week.

Last year The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the castle and museum a grant of 985,000 to pay for improvements.

But a further 70,000 needs to be raised to carry out the rebuilding project, which also includes essential repairs to the castle.

Sussex Past, the organisation which runs both the castle and the museum, is working to raise the extra funds.
