Etchingham
Etchingham (population 806) is a village and civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex in southerly England. The town lies approximately 15 miles (24 kilometres) southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent as well as 13 miles (21 kilometres) northwest of Hastings, on the A265, half a mile west of its joint with the A21. Etchingham railway station is on the Hastings Line to London Charing Cross as well as Cannon Street. Etchingham was a chateau a long time prior to the Norman occupation of 1066; after this time the chateau was taken control of by the Normans. In 1166 it was delegated the de Achyngham (Etchingham) family, that were popular landowners of the time. The Etchingham family members documents document that William was so happy with his right-hand man that he provided him the land now referred to as Etchingham. The moated manor house, time out of mind knocked down, stood at the factor now occupied by the London to Hastings railway line. Some of the stone from the chateau was possibly used in the building and construction of the terminal structures. There is one tale that a fantastic bell lay at the bottom of the moat bordering the church and mansion, which it would certainly never ever be seen till 6 yoke of white oxen were brought to drag it up. Centuries have passed by, the moat is long gone and no bell has actually surfaced. The 14th-century church was originally built within the premises of the manor; evidence of the moat can still be seen.
