Etchingham (population 806) is a town and civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex in southerly England. The village lies about 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent and 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 and also Cannon Street. Etchingham was a chateau a long period of time before the Norman occupation of 1066; after this time the manor was taken over by the Normans. In 1166 it was entrusted to the de Achyngham (Etchingham) family, who were popular landowners of the time. The Etchingham family papers document that William was so happy with his right-hand man that he gave him the land now referred to as Etchingham. The moated manor house, time out of mind demolished, stood at the factor currently occupied by the London to Hastings train line. Several of the stone from the estate was probably used in the construction of the station structures. There is one tale that a great bell lay at the bottom of the moat surrounding the church and chateau, which it would certainly never ever be seen till 6 yoke of white oxen were offered drag it up. Centuries have actually passed by, the moat is long gone and no bell has surfaced. The 14th-century church was initially developed within the premises of the manor; evidence of the moat can still be seen.
