Virtually nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint George, to whom this church is dedicated, but veneration of him dates back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century. The legend of Saint George as the dragon slayer, however, is very well-known and widespread. He is usually depicted—in paintings or as a statue—as the vanquisher of the beast, often as a knight on horseback. The feast day of this very popular saint is celebrated on April 23 in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. He is, among other things, the patron saint of the Kingdom of England, and several of the orders and decorations awarded there bear his name.

One of the best English country side sceneries I have seen in a long time. Stunning views from the highlighted spot (and more).

Who hasn't heard or read about the Battle of Hastings in English class at school? It's all the more impressive when you're there yourself and can see everything; this is how history comes alive.

On the way through the former battlefield, you pass this impressive sculpture; it is impressive to walk in the footsteps of the past in this way

Discover some of the Rich History woven within Kent Walls of Battle Abbey

The battlefield walk is inside the abbey grounds, so costs to get in. It’s an English Heritage site.

Pretty village. We were there for a medieval fair which was great fun for the kids, and having never seen a maypole dance I really enjoyed the display of several different dances - who knew there was a method to the ribbon twisting and lots of different patterns. Of course the jesters were the hit with all the kids!
