Old Town Bexhill Brief History

Brief History of the Old Town Bexhill-Until the development of the coastal resort of Bexhill-on-Sea in the late 19th Century, the Old Town was the main settlement. At its heart was the Manor of Bexhill, owned successively by the Church, Robert D Eu of France, the Church (again) and the Sackville family. The settlement and the surrounding land also formed the Hundred of Bexhill and has a long and rich history, dating back to Saxon times.When King Offa of Mercia conquered the South Saxons he granted eight hides of land (nearly 500 acres) at Bixlea to Oswald, Bishop of Selsey, to build and endow a church. This church would be the foundation of the parish of St Peters. Although the church would be extensively remodelled over time, some early stonework from this time survive buried in the current walls. The charter which was signed on August I5th 772 AD became the first recorded date in the history of the town, and would pave the way for the Hundred of Bexlei (a division of the shire used military and judicial purposes). After Oswald s death, Bixlea reverted to ownership of the See of Selsey, and remained so until the Norman Conquest in 1066.
