Description
The Battle of Hastings, 14 October 1066, was the most famous battle fought on English soil, and its consequences are still felt after nearly 1,000 years. William the Conqueror built Battle Abbey on the exact place where King Harold died, and it thrived as a Benedictine abbey for over 400 years. This guide includes a tour of the battlefield and the imposing abbey buildings, and a history of the site, illustrated with full-colour maps, reconstruction drawings and historical images.
