Quote:AN AUTHOR who believes the Battle of Hastings was fought in Crowhurst, has failed in his bid to have the site recognised as the official 1066 battlefield.ummmmm yes
Nick Austin believes the bloody clash took place in the village, rather than the registered site at Battle.
Mr Austin applied to English Heritage, which is responsible for the battlefield, to examine his evidence, which he believes proves King Harold met his fate in Crowhurst.
But English Heritage has rejected Mr Austinâs bid for a re-assesment of the site.
âThis is despite national television coverage by authorised archaeologists, which showed the nation in no uncertain terms there is no archaeology supporting the battle anywhere within the registered battlefield area.
âI was not consulted by any historians, or archaeologists on any evidence referred to in this document, where I can see some serious flaws in what it is claimed that I claim.
