Hastings Trip

In early April this year,some Bar Folc members went on holiday to East Sussex and visited a number of historic places linked with our great English heritage and culture,most notably the small town of Battle,where as you know ,William the Bastard began the invasion and subjugation of our land and folc.We were honoured to stand where our great King Harold fell fighting and Darron Fogg laid a memorial cross for our King and all his men.
We also visited Hastings Castle,Pevensey Castle,Camber Castle and the Ypres Tower in Rye,as well as the usual holiday haunts.We were fortunate with excellent weather for all but 1 day ! It is certainly beneficial for anyone interested in our history to join English Heritage as we have done.
