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.

I was surprised how much we enjoyed it! The audio guides are really interesting and we learned and experienced a lot.

Stunning 11th Century monastery built by William the Conqueror on the site of the Battle of Hastings. As well as the ruins, which you can wander around with your bike, there is a great visitors center. Well worth exploring when you're in Battle.
