Etchingham was a manor a long period of time prior to the Norman conquest of 1066; hereafter time the chateau was taken over by the Normans. In 1166 it was left to the de Achyngham (Etchingham) household, who were well-known landowners of the time. The Etchingham household documents document that William was so delighted with his right-hand man that he gave him the land now known as Etchingham. The moated manor house, time out of mind destroyed, stood at the factor now occupied by the London to Hastings train line. Several of the stone from the mansion was possibly used in the building of the terminal buildings. There is one legend that an excellent bell lay at the bottom of the moat bordering the church and chateau, which it would certainly never be seen till 6 yoke of white oxen were brought to drag it up. Centuries have actually gone by, the moat is long gone and also no bell has emerged.
