The village lies roughly 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent and 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Hastings, on the A265, half a mile west of its junction with the A21. Etchingham train station gets on the Hastings Line to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street. Etchingham was a mansion a long period of time before the Norman occupation of 1066; after this time the mansion was taken control of by the Normans. In 1166 it was left to the de Achyngham (Etchingham) household, that were popular landowners of the moment. The Etchingham family documents document that William was so happy with his right-hand man that he gave him the land now known as Etchingham. The moated manor house, time out of mind knocked down, stood at the point currently occupied by the London to Hastings railway line. A few of the rock from the mansion was probably made use of in the building of the terminal structures. There is one legend that a great bell lay at the bottom of the moat surrounding the church as well as mansion, and that it would never ever be seen till six yoke of white oxen were offered drag it up. Centuries have passed by, the moat is long gone and no bell has appeared. The 14th-century church was initially built within the premises of the estate; evidence of the moat can still be seen.
