Battle Museum of Local History

If in Hastings you should definitely visit the museum, the volunteer's are very knowledgeable and give you the full story of the battle of Hastings and more.

One of the best experiences I’ve had at any museum. Staff so welcoming and took the time to explain everything I wanted to know. Staff passionate and knowledgeable on all subjects. Museum has original 1066 Axe head.

Although the Abbey is a big draw for visitors to Battle, the museum has a big focus on what happened in 1066. The exhibition contains a very detailed copy of the original tapestry from Bayeux. So is a much better experience to learn about the death of the last Saxon king.

Awesome little museum, full of local treasures, there's a wealth of history in the area and they've got a lot of it here, there's lots of information available, guiding you through the ages and it's free!! The people who run the museum are lovely and very helpful, this museum relies on donations and it's definitely worth it.

What a wonderful little gem in Battle - the volunteer staff are incredibly knowledgeable and they have a great variety of exhibits and artifacts. It’s free, and certainly worth a donation to help keep the lights on. As a bonus, go through the garden to the back of the Almonry to see courtyard and you’ll find a very clean and quiet WC.

Lovely knowledgeable staff and lots of quirky exhibits. Its free and only a short walk from the Battle Abbey, so definitely worth a visit.

Brilliant little musuem, staff were so knowledgeable and the axe head is amazing. Well worth a visit and it's free too.

Small place but had a good bit of local history within. The volunteers were very helpful and friendly.
