Description

Battle er en lille by og civil sogn i det lokale regeringsdistrikt Rother i East Sussex, England. Det ligger 55 miles syd-sydøst for London, 32 miles øst for Brighton og 24 miles øst for Lewes. Også i nærheden ligger Hastings mod sydøst og Bexhill-on-Sea mod syd.
Det var stedet for Slaget ved Hastings, hvor William, hertug af Normandiet, besejrede kong Harold II for at blive William I i 1066. Det ligger i det udpegede High Weald område med enestående naturlig skønhed. Sognets befolkning var 6.048 ifølge folketællingen i 2001, stigende til 6.673 med folketællingen i 2011. Det har to gymnasier: Claverham Community College og Battle Abbey.

Battle Abbey blev grundlagt for at mindes slaget og indviet i 1095. Det høje alter i Abbey-kirken skulle efter sigende have været på det sted, hvor Harold døde. Abbey-porten er stadig det dominerende træk ved den sydlige ende af hovedgaden, selvom der er lidt tilbage af resten af Abbey-bygningerne. De tilbageværende klostre, en del af den vestlige række, blev lejet til Battle Abbey School kort efter 1. verdenskrig, og skolen er stadig i brug den dag i dag.
