English Heritage Resumes Work to Save Historic Sites
English Heritage has started its first conservation projects since lockdown, including major works at Pevensey Castle in Sussex, a Saxon shore fort intrinsically linked to the Battle of Hastings. The project, to remove the extensive vegetation growth that covered parts of the castle has revealed key historical features, previously hidden from both visitors and historians alike. Evolving from Roman fort to Norman castle, and even put back into action during the Second World War, Pevensey Castle is most famous as the landing place for William the Conqueror’s army in 1066. But important elements of this historically important site have been hidden away for decades, including an entire Roman bastion – standing at over 9 metres tall.
