On 28th September 1066, William Duke of Normandy and his army landed at Pevensey. Sixteen days later and seventeen miles away, he defeated Anglo Saxon King Harold and changed the course of English history. The 31-mile 1066 Country Walk is a relatively easy, low-level route. Follow it through countryside that witnessed the Norman Conquest, from Pevensey Castle, past world-famous Battle Abbey, through medieval Winchelsea and into charming Rye. The Walk passes through the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with rolling hills and valleys, atmospheric marshes, ancient woodland, historic towns, quaint villages, old churches, rustic farms, elegant estates, oast houses and windmills, and plenty of cosy pubs and cafés along the way. This guide assumes you start in Pevensey and end in Rye (though you can walk either way). It breaks the Walk into six easy sections, Walkers’ Guide each of which takes 3-4 hours. Or why not make a weekend or week of it? There are lots of places to stay along the route. For use in conjunction with OS Explorer Map 124 Find out more at visit1066country.com Thanks to a grant secured by Rother District Council Cutural Development from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the Walk has new visit1066country.com signage, information panels, benches and sculptures.

  • Adherents from the Rape of Hastings and Pevensey Lowey of the Jack Cade Rebellion of 1450 Who Were Pardonned

    Adherents from the Rape of Hastings and Pevensey Lowey of the Jack Cade Rebellion of 1450 Who Were Pardonned

    Adherents from the Rape of Hastings and Pevensey Lowey of the Jack Cade Rebellion of 1450 who were pardonned In June 1450 Jack Cade became leader of an originally Kentish rebellion of small property holders penalised by high taxes. The rebellion spread to involve men from neighbouring counties, especially Sussex. Cade assumed the name John Mortimer and demanded the removal of several of the King’s chief ministers and the recall of Richard, Duke of York. The rebel forces defeated a royal army at Sevenoaks, Kent, on 18 June, and went on to London. There the rebels executed the lord treasurer, James Fiennes. A degree of lawlessness followed and Londoners drove the rebels from the city on 5-6 July. The government persuaded many of the rebels to disperse by offering pardons, but Cade continued his activities. He was chased down, wounded and captured at Cade Street near Heathfield, Sussex, on 12 July, and died of his wounds whilst being transported to London. The list below is of those from the Rape of Hastings and Lowey of Pevensey who had taken part in or supported the rebellion and were granted pardons. It gives a good indication of how widespread this rebellion was. It attracted adherents from across the social spectrum and involved whole communities. Undoubtedly there was no way the normal severe capital retributions could be used to punish all those involved or whole communities would have been decimated and made unproductive, but some ringleaders were singled out and executed.

  • Item 5 Report to Lead Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment

    Item 5 Report to Lead Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment

    Agenda Item 5 Report to Lead Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment Date 10 December 2012 Report By Director of Transport and Environment Title of Report Land at Manchester Road, Ninfield Purpose of Report To seek approval to rescind the highway scheme approved for Manchester Road, Ninfield. RECOMMENDATION: The Lead Member is recommended to approve the rescinding of the highway scheme approved for Manchester Road, Ninfield as shown at Appendix 1. 1. Financial Appraisal 1.1 Approved highway schemes are recorded on the highway terrier and must be declared on local land charge searches where appropriate and when interested parties request information. If the schemes remain as approved schemes, costs will be incurred in maintaining the terrier and in declaring information on searches, letters and over the telephone. There is also the possibility that the County Council might be served a blight notice by an affected property owner. If proved to be valid, the Council would incur costs in acquiring the property. 1.2 There is no financial cost in rescinding the scheme. 2. Supporting Information 2.1 An improvement scheme for Manchester Road, Ninfield was approved by the County Council Highway and Transportation Committee in 1986 as shown at Appendix 1. The scheme was intended to provide a footway along sections of the south side of the road, lay- bys to serve a doctors’ surgery and post office/ store, widening of small sections of the carriageway and some drainage improvements. The scheme required the compulsory purchase of small areas of land from a number of properties adjacent to the highway.

    World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District

    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.

This aims to align this BAP with the Sussex Biodiversity Action Plan. The document also demonstrates the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and ditch maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the Government’s UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. Bill Gower Chairman of the Board PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS & ACRONYMS 1 1

It all began with the Battle of Hastings. There's no doubting the importance of the battle. It was probably the most significant battle in English history, and marked the last successful invasion of the country. Battle Abbey was built on the site of the battle, and the town grew up around it. But there's a lot more to the town than that memory. The whole centre of the town is a conservation area, with some wonderful buildings. The High Street runs along a ridge, so the houses and the yards beside them generally lead to open countryside Here we tell you about some of them, and some other things. It can take you on a walk around the town, and walks outside it too. Battle seems to have more tea/coffee shops than anywhere else, and some excellent places to eat and drink. So walk about and enjoy it.
