Itinerary/Excursions
1066 Country and the Battle of Hastings
In the early morning of 14 October 1066, two great armies prepared to fight for the throne of England. On a hilltop 7 miles from Hastings were the forces of Harold, who had been crowned king nine months earlier. Facing them on the far side of the valley below were the troops of Duke William of Normandy, who believed he was the rightful king. By the end of the day, thousands lay dead on the battlefield, and the victorious William was one step nearer to seizing the throne.
Bateman’s NT

Built in 1634 for a prosperous ironmaster it was then used as a farmhouse until Kipling bought the house in 1902 and lived there with his family until his death in 1936.
