Eastbourne, East Sussex - Eastbourne
Eastbourne sits on the south coast of East Sussex between Brighton and Hastings. It is a large seaside town with some 90,000 inhabitants, but began as a small village in Saxon times. Prior to this, Bronze-age settlers lived in various areas within and around what is now the town, and Celts are known to have settled on the South Downs at the top of Eastbourne. Eastbourne's name comes from 'Burne' the stream which ran through the Old Town of Eastbourne, but which is now just a small pond in Motcombe Gardens. It is overlooked by St. Mary's Church, a Norman church which alledgedly lies on the site of a Saxon Moot. The 'East' was added in the 13th century. Edward II visited the village of East Burne in 1324 and the village began to grow. In the1450s, Eastbourne men "Thomas Profot - gentilman, Richard Burton - yeoman and Thomas Motard - yeaoman" are all pardoned after Jack Cade's rebellion against the government in 1450. And in 1467 The Manor of Bourne was held by Baron de Roos, though it is later denied him due to his support of the Lancastrian movement. During the middle ages the area prospered as a major sheep farming and fishing area and in 1555 East Bourne was sold to three wealthy Sussex families - Burton, Gildredge and Selwyn. In 1556 Bourne Place (now Compton Place) was built, and still stands as a private ladies training college today. At the end of the 17th century, Eastbourne folk were involved in battle with the French - and on on 30th June 1690 the English and Dutch navies were unsuccessful as they fought the French off Beachy Head.
