The site of the Battle of Hastings in 1066 where William the Conqueror defeated King Harold
William decreed that a church and monastery be built on the battle site
The battle of 1066 changed the course of history in England
Ruins of the monastery, which grew considerably in the 1300s
A scene from the famous Bayeux Tapestry showing the battle
The cloister as it may have appeared around 1330
That area today
John and Janis checking out the novices' chamber built around 1300
The place where King Harold fell
The Novices' Chamber today
The chamber as it would have appeared around 1330
Cozy tea room where we had lunch
