This East Sussex town was
named after the momentous Battle of Hastings,
fought alongside a stream known as Senlac, in
1066.
William the Conqueror later built St
Martin’s Abbey on the hilltop where King
Harold died.
Only parts of the abbey have
survived but its gateway is a feature of
Battle’s main street. |
