In 1066, one of the most decisive battles in British history took place near Hastings. The victory of William the Conqueror over King Harold II transformed England’s monarchy, society and culture.

In this 950th anniversary year, historian and local resident Julian Humphrys will explore the events surrounding the Battle of Hastings — what happened on that momentous day, how historians know what happened, and the lasting consequences of the battle. He will also examine its impact, both politically and personally, on those who fought and lived through this pivotal moment in history.

A must-attend event for anyone interested in medieval history and the origins of modern Britain.
