About Old Town

Old Town breathes the salt-laced air of the Sussex coast, a place where the land gently slopes towards the sea. It lies 1.1 km east-north-east of Hastings (from Hastings: bearing 70°T, OS grid TQ 827 098). The ancient heart of Old Town, with its higgledy-piggledy streets, once echoed with the cries of fishermen and the clatter of market stalls, a legacy that still whispers through the crooked timber-framed houses that lean companionably towards one another. Here, the sun often casts a soft, pearly light, illuminating the weathered flint walls and the occasional splash of colour from a well-tended cottage garden. The distinctive curve of the coastline is a constant presence, a reminder of the maritime past that shaped this corner of England. Even now, a certain robust independence seems to emanate from the very stones of its old church, St. Mary's, which has stood sentinel over generations.
