Re: Battle Abbey 1066 and all that

No....I wasn't there! Not born until 1955.
I'm afraid the Saunders family are prolific in these parts.
Did you ever visit the He 111 crash at Mountfield, perchance? I would love to establish exactly where it was and presume it to have been in the woods near the Gypsum Mines.
By the way, I was in Battle this afternoon and must have retraced your steps from that day. I went to have a look at the repair job and if you look carefully you can just see the "new" stonework. We ought to get English Heritage to display something about the event in the visitor centre, although in this PC world I expect it would be viewed as potentially offending some overseas visitors.
