Battle Abbey
Battle Abbey

Battle Abbey


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.
