In 1066 William the Conqueror defeated Harold the Saxon king in the town, changing the course of English history. The town was constructed around the Abbey of St. Martin and now the ruins are a tourist attraction. The high altar is believed to have been put on the exact place where Harold fell. Another great attraction in Battle is the parish church of St. Mary, which was constructed in the 12th century.
