Battle of Hastings

What's Your Story?

Everybody knows about the Battle of Hastings of 1066. Friday 14 October 2016 marks the 950th anniversary of the famous fight for the English crown.

Hastings schoolboy Aidan Kavanagah, from Ark William Parker Academy, takes us on a tour of his hometown and relives the events that made it so famous.

The Battle of Hastings changed history and we might not even be here if the outcome had been different.

With thanks to Ark Blacklands Primary Academy and Ark William Parker Academy.
