Town of Battle

My last photo from Battle. Tomorrow I will take you all to Hastings.
From this angle, the Abbey is directly behind me, as is a small restaurant called "Pilgrim's Rest". This is the rest of the town... not very big is it?

From another view....

This is from the tower outside the main abbey that the school has turned into an art studio. Nice place to draw! I liked the view from up here... so here it is! It's one of the only ways you can see nearly the entire building.

Seen King Harold?

These are some of the ruins in the grounds of Battle Abbey. It is rumoured that the ghost of Harold II of England dwells in these ruins. Most of the students of Battle, particularly the older girls (the school was actually an all girls school until about 20 years ago) will tell you stories of sightings of a ghost when they walked through this particular ruin...
More to come...
PS. I'm sorry about the delay, we had a storm in Toronto last night that left us without Internet and television. It was a pretty boring night...

Battle Abbey

This is a picture of (a small part of) Battle Abbey. It is a classic, British style boarding school. The town of Battle is located in East Sussex, and it is the location of the the Battle of Hastings.
More pictures and information of this location tomorrow.
