'''Hastings''' is a fishing port and resort town on the [[English Channel]], in [[Sussex]], south-east [[England]]. [[William the Conqueror]] landed his army at Pevensey, near Hastings, in 1066, and the decisive battle which took place at the village of Senlac (now called [[Battle]]), in which he vanquished the English army and killed the English King, [[Harold II]], is known to history as the [[Battle of Hastings]]. A [[Norman]] castle was built at Hastings; its ruins dominate the skyline of the town. In the nineteenth century a fashionable extension of the town to the west, known as St Leonards, was designed by the architect [[John Nash]].
