The thriving market town of Battle gets its name from the Battle of Hastings, which was fought between Harold the Saxon king and William the Conqueror in 1066. The town grew up around the Abbey of St Martin which was built by William the Conqueror after the battle. Battle has some notable Georgian buildings along its High Street, and the cottages and houses near the Abbey date from around 1700. In the outlaying areas there are many fine period country houses and cottages, which you will find advertised by the estate agents in Battle. Local residents consider Battle to be one of the friendliest small towns in East Sussex, and although the town has grown and has undergone much new development during the past 20 years, its heart remains.
