Etchingham (population 806) is a village and also civil church in the Rother area of East Sussex in southern England. The village is located around 15 miles (24 kilometres) southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent and also 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Hastings, on the A265, half a mile west of its junction with the A21. Etchingham railway station gets on the Hastings Line to London Charing Cross as well as Cannon Street. Etchingham was a chateau a long time prior to the Norman occupation of 1066; after this time the estate was taken control of by the Normans. In 1166 it was entrusted to the de Achyngham (Etchingham) household, who were widely known landowners of the time. The Etchingham family members papers record that William was so pleased with his right-hand man that he gave him the land now known as Etchingham. The moated manor house, long since knocked down, stood at the point now occupied by the London to Hastings railway line. Some of the rock from the manor was most likely made use of in the building of the terminal structures. There is one legend that a terrific bell lay at the end of the moat bordering the church as well as estate, and that it would certainly never ever be seen up until six yoke of white oxen were brought to drag it up. Centuries have gone by, the moat is long gone as well as no bell has actually appeared. The 14th-century church was initially constructed within the premises of the estate; evidence of the moat can still be seen.
