British Attack on Lewes-- Part 4: American Casualties: One Chicken and One Pig

There was damage to some buildings in Lewes as a result of the attack.  One remains today and is called The Cannonball House.  One chicken was killed and a pig lost a leg, but no humans were injured.

Legend has it that women and children dressed as men and carried corn stalks, rakes and hoes and marched like they were men in sight of the British who thought that they were an advancing American army.
