Crowhurst is an isolated village situated five miles (8 km) north-west of Hastings in East Sussex. It has a parish council and is located within the Rother District Council. ==History== The earliest mention of the settlement is in 771, when King Offa of Mercia gave the Bishop of Selsey a piece of land here; a church was then built by the Bishop. Crowhurst (then called ''Croghyrst'') itself remained the king's land until 1412, although various landowners were given possession of it over that time: * ''Robert Count of Eu'', after the Norman Conquest of England * the Fitz-Lambert family, until the 12th century * ''Walter de Scotney'', given by Richard I after the Third Crusade, although Walter forfeited it in 1259, having been found guilty of a crime * Sir John Pelham, given to him by Henry IV in 1412; Pelham built the present parish church 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crowhurst, East Sussex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
