The images in this folder were taken in and around
Pevensey Castle.
William landed here.
Why ?
Some historians say that he landed by mistake.
Others, that he had good knowledge of the area -
mainly through a local monastic house that was
Norman in origin !
He fortified an area within the old Saxon Shore
Fort that was here. Remains of the original
Roman walls can still be seen.
The Paint files are as follows :
Pev 2 - from the walls of the medieval castle,
looking south to the coast.
This gives an idea of just how flat the
area is.
The land beyond the walls would have been
flooded in 1066.
Pevensey harbour stood outside and at the
foot of these walls.
Pev 3 - an artists impression of the area within
the walls of Pevensey Castle.
Pev 4 - the area from the air.
Pev 5 - the keep of the castle would have been on
the right here and the harbour at the foot
of this mound.
Pev 6
Pev 7 - the area within the Roman walls.
It is in this open area that William
would have constructed his wooden
fortifications.
Using the material in this folder, pupils could
draw up a plan for their fortification of the
area.
