1066 BATTLE OF HASTINGS. ABBEY & BATTLEFIED
Everyone knows at least one date in English history - 1066, the year the invading army of Normans defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings. In fact the two armies did not fight at Hastings, but at a place by the town now named Battle. In the ruins of Battle Abbey, which King William later built to commemorate the event, you can stand on the very spot where the defeated King Harold fell.
