Excerpt from The Antiquities of Hastings and the Battlefield: With Maps, and a Plan of the Battle This little Work owes its origin to a request made to the writer, on the occasion of the British Archæological Association holding their Congress at Hastings, that he would draw up some account of the Antiquities of the Town. As the writer grew interested in his subject, the unconnected descriptions of some of our antiquities became gradually woven into a continuous account of our ancient Port. The Paper was read before the Philosophical Society, and the Members and many other friends having expressed a wish that it should be printed, together. with a Paper on the Octo-Centenary of the Battle of Hastings, this Volume is the result. In Part I., "On Hastings, " the possibility of a Roman Origin is considered, an attempt has been made to fix the site of the Saxon Town, and the passage in Domesday relating to Hastings has been investigated with especial reference to the New Burg therein mentioned, also some data have been given for determining the grant of the Arms of the Cinque Ports.
