X marks the spot, or in this case, the abbey marks the spot, where
the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066. William the Conqueror
had the abbey built in 1070, with the high altar built where Harold
was killed. A stone plaque now marks that location. The best preserved
part of the abbey is the impressive 14th century Great Gatehouse.
There are displays and an interactive exhibit on the history of
the site.
