The history surrounding Herstmonceux.

Herstmonceux

Herstmonceux gets its name from an Anglo-Saxon word called hyrst. This Anglo-Saxon word means a wooded hill.  The other part of the name Herstmonceux comes from the Monceux family. The Monceux family were the major landowners in that area during the 12th century.

Herstmonceux used to be called Gardners Street. Herstmonceux is situated east of Hailsham and West of Battle.  The Herstmonceux parish includes several villages including Cow Beach, Stunts Green and part of Windmill hill.  It also includes Herstmonceux Castle.

The castle in Herstmonceux, which is some 2 miles east of the village, was formally an observatory.  Herstmonceux Castle is now an international study centre for a university in Canada.  It therefore often caters for Canadian students and also holds an annual Medieval Herstmonceux Festival.

The local church is a Church of England church called All Saints.  The church that dates backs to the 20 century, with the oldest tower over looking Herstmonceux Castle.  The Herstmonceux church is located on the road between the village and road leading to the Castle and was erected in 1811 and is now a listed building.

The area around Herstmonceux is known for making baskets derived from willow boards are set in either a chestnut and sometimes ash frame.  We are fortunate that some local skilled people have kept the tradition alive and within the area of Herstmonceux still make Trugs.
