Administrative centre of East Sussex (5)

I believe the answer is:

lewes

(Other definitions for lewes that I've seen before include "somewhere in Sussex" , "Administrative town of East Sussex" , "Town near Glyndebourne" , "County town of East Sussex" , "County town of E. Sussex" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
