Market-day, Thursday. Pevensey is a very old place, and occupies the site of the Roman Anderida on Ermine Street. During the Saxon period, and for some time after the Norman Conquest, it was a port of some consequence, but fell into decline about the time of Henry III. The castle, now a picturesque ruin, stands on an eminence, and was built soon after the Norman Conquest. Pevensey Bay (where the Conqueror disembarked his forces in 1066) is a shallow indentation, measuring 5 miles across the entrance. Pevensey Point is at its E. side; Pevensey Shoal lies off the Point.
