Descendants of Edward SMITH

Battle, East Sussex
The ancient town of Battle was the scene of the final conflict that changed the course of English history in 1066 - the Battle of Hastings. The battle was so named because Hastings was the nearest centre of population and the very spot where King Harold fell can still be seen to this day. Battle Abbey, dedicated to the warrior monk St Martin de Bello, was the result of William the Conqueror's vow that he would erect a monastery if he secured victory. Still accessible to the public, it provides wand& tape tours, fascinating exhibitions and a shop offering every kind of gift

The local parish church of St Mary the Virgin was founded in 1115 by Abbot Ralph. Here you can see a stunning Romanesque nave and some incredibly rare 14th century wall paintings. The church is also home to the Senlac stained glass window which was installed in 1984 and commemorates the English and Norman armies. A moment or so away from the church are the award-winning gardens of the Almonry. Here you can unearth more ancient history by exploring the complexity of the Battle Town Model.

The architectural charm of Battle is world-famous and fiercely protected. Nothing has been allowed to spoil the high street which is a unique blend of Georgian and Medieval cottages. There is also a host of delightful shops, boutiques, restaurants and tea rooms.
