Bexhill-on-Sea History
| The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in
a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772AD. It is recorded that King Offa
had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771AD.
At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as we know it today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill... more on Bexhill's history. |
