MenuHastings, Sussex
Hastings is a town and seaside resort in Sussex. Hastings is famed for giving its name to the great battle in which the Normans conquered England in 1066, which was fought some miles outside the town, but it was at Hastings that William built his first castle in England. In the Middle Ages, Hastings became one of the Cinque Ports. Hastings was, for centuries, an important fishing port. The town became a watering place in the 1760s, and then, with the coming of the railway, a seaside resort. The town is within the council area of Hastings (East Sussex).
