Battle Abbey, [22], the seat of Sir Godfrey Webster, is situated on a gentle rise, with a delightful sweep before it of meadows and woods, bounded by woody hills, which form a valley, winding towards Hastings and the sea. The ruins of this once magnificent structure, bear ample testimony of the scale of the establishment, their circuit embracing nearly a mile. The remains occupy nearly three sides of a long square; the middle side is converted into a modern habitation. The grand entrance, facing the town, is a large square building, embattled at the top with a handsome octagon tower at each corner, composing a very rich and elegant piece of gothic architecture. The side of the square, opposite to the gateway, consists of two long low parallel walls; the remaining side forms the dwelling house. Some of these ruins are interesting; but the greater part have been destroyed or defaced by modern alterations.
