The attractive town of Battle gets it name from the Battle of Hastings,
which was fought between Harold the Saxon king and William the
Conqueror in 1066. The battle was so significant it changed the course
of English history. The town grew up around the Abbey of St Martin
which was built by William the Conqueror after the battle. It is said
that William vowed that should he win the battle he would build such an
abbey. The abbey was built between 1070 and 1094, and the high altar is
believed to have been placed on the spot where Harold fell. Today the
Abbey ruins and the battlefield are cared for by English Heritage and
are well worth a visit. The imposing Abbey gatehouse built circa 1338
can be seen as you look down the length of the High Street.
Battle has some notable Georgian buildings along its High Street. The
cottages and houses near the Abbey date from around 1700. The parish
church of St Mary was built in Norman times and for the most part is
12th century in construction. It offers the visitor rare 14th century
wall paintings and a Norman font amongst other things. At the Northern
end of the High Street can be found the Almonry which was built in 1090
and now houses the Town Council and the Battle Museum of Local History.
The property has a fitted and well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar
and a range cooker. Door leads to the rear garden, which has
archway leading to the main part of the garden with fantastic
views over the countryside. The living room is furnished in
modern style. The first floor gives one twin and one double bedroom and
