Visiting the Site of the Battle of Hastings that took place in 1066, The crypt of the church is built over the site where Harold II was defeated. (allegedly shot in the eye with an arrow) This led to the beginning of the Norman conquest of England and its history. Under the remains of the church are the amazing vaunted rooms of the dormitory in the east wing.
