Battle - About

The town of Battle marks the spot where William the Conqueror battled with Harold and his Saxons on October 14, 1066. In 1070 William built Battle Abbey, little of the church has survived the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The monastic buildings occupied by monks of the Benedictine order still remain. The abbey gatehouse houses a museum depicting daily life in a monastery.
