Around Battle Through Time
Introduction
The small Sussex town of Battle owes its very name and creation to the famous Battle of Hastings which took place here in 1066; the most decisive and important battle to have ever taken place in England. Following Duke William of Normandy's crowning victory, Battle prospered through the Middle Ages as a market town, a tradition which continues to this day.
Landmarks
Always dominating the landscape of the town has been the magnificent Abbey which William created to celebrate his victory.
Storytelling
Through a collection of largely Edwardian photographs, this book tells the story of Battle and the beautiful, historic surrounding villages of Catsfield, Westfield, Sedlescombe, and Crowhurst; each village steeped in its own rich history.
Conclusion
Around Battle Through Time is essential reading for anyone who knows and loves this little Sussex town.
