It has been 12 years since I created this video while on a family tree trip--The video is a mixture using a hand held cassette tape recorder and an  Instamatic camera photos---You can hear the sound of the camera as I wind on for the next frame---Anyway there has been evidence that the real Battle of 1066 took place at Crowhurst ,one of Harold's manors---Over the past 12 years there has been much investigation using modern technology and standard archaeology by a historian called Nick Austin and he has a site called 'The secrets of the Norman Invasion' found at https://secretsofthenormaninvasion.wordpress.com where  much information can be found  about these investigations...This  investigation is of enormous significance to our history because basically it states that no battle of 1066 took place at Battle  near Hastings---apparently there is no archaeological evidence of any battle--nothing...The Conqueror made avow to build an abbey on the site of the Battle and the one at Crowhurst also fits the bill---anyway  Austin has provided loads of information---I am  still waiting to find out if they did ever find any evidence of the 1000s  who died on the battlefield and their horses, their equipment etc.....NOW the 2000 year Yew tree was also there in the Conqueror's time and is even found in the Bayeaux Tapestry with some of the stone blocks embedded in its roots.......It is a shame that I did not manage to get inside the church but a wedding rehearsal was taking place ---I would love to re-visit and do a proper video so its on the list..............I was on a family tree trip  and the de Clares,the Stutevilles and others  in my Tree arrived with Wm Conqueror and participated in the invasion and fought in the battles---so this place is of significance-------I do also have family  on the Anglo-Saxon side as well---so it was aright family affair 1066....I also have  videos I created when I visited Hastings and the  ??????Battlefield which I will still share-----fake news has along history it seems
