Etchingham (population 806) is a town as well as civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex in southern England. The town is located about 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent and also 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Hastings, on the A265, half a mile west of its joint with the A21. Etchingham train station gets on the Hastings Line to London Charing Cross as well as Cannon Street. Etchingham was an estate a long period of time prior to the Norman occupation of 1066; after this time the mansion was taken over by the Normans. In 1166 it was delegated the de Achyngham (Etchingham) family members, that were popular landowners of the moment. The Etchingham household documents record that William was so pleased with his right-hand man that he provided him the land now called Etchingham. The moated manor house, time out of mind demolished, stood at the factor now inhabited by the London to Hastings railway line. Some of the stone from the estate was possibly made use of in the construction of the terminal structures. There is one tale that a terrific bell lay at the end of the moat surrounding the church and chateau, which it would certainly never ever be seen till six yoke of white oxen were given drag it up. Centuries have actually passed by, the moat is long gone and no bell has appeared. The 14th-century church was initially constructed within the premises of the estate; evidence of the moat can still be seen.
