SUMMARY:The site of the Norman Landing and Subsequent Battle
DESCRIPTION:October 14th marks the 960th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, arguably one of the most significant days in English history. The resultant Norman Conquest ended nearly 500 years of Anglo-Saxon rule, shifting England’s political, cultural and linguistic ties away from Scandinavia and towards continental Europe.\nWith the Bayeux Tapestry on display at the British Museum from 10th September, three of Winchelsea’s societies, plus Andrew Scott and St Thomas Primary School are organising a unique programme of talks, debates, walks and exhibitions celebrating the people, places and events of 1066.\nJoin us on Saturday 10th October 2026, at the New Hall, Rectory Lane, Winchelsea TN36 4AA for a Debate about the “The Site of the Norman Landing and the Subsequent Battle”. Two eminent local historical researchers, Stephen Gray MSc and Jonathan Starkey MA, who have both published numerous historical articles, will debate the differing claims as to the site of the Norman landing in 1066 – where did William actually land, and where was the Battle fought?\nTo be Moderated by three retired High Court Judges.\nBook Online: www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/the-site-of-the-norman-landing-and-battle ( http://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/the-site-of-the-norman-landing-and-battle )\n
