'Rye from the Water's Edge' by John Seymour & Connie Lindqvist is a hard back A6 landscape book with 72 pen & ink illustrations by Connie Lindqvist published in 1996.

It includes period depictions of Rye, Winchelsea and Romney Marsh and was previously published as three A5 landscape books. 'The Sealanes of Rye' looked at Rye's seafaring history and the local fishing industry; 'The Water Trails of Rye' told of the inland waterways and the barges that plied their trade on the Rother; and 'The Byways of Rye' touched on smuggling, natural disasters, raft races, bonfire boys and the Rye of one hundred years hence.

In 1999 Connie began work on the 'Rye Maritime Heritage Collection' which involved creating 24" x 18" watercolours of 36 of the 72 pen & ink drawings. These went on exhibition in September 2000 at the Rye Festival.
