About Bexhill-on-Sea

The De-La-Warr Pavilion at Bexhill-on-Sea Bexhill-on-Sea seems to have retained all the best qualities of English life since the turn of the last century whilst managing to avoid most of the unpleasant influences which seem to have plagued so many other towns.

Renowned for its health giving air since Victorian times and enjoying probably the best climate on the south coast, Bexhill has been kept a jealously guarded secret by residents and those people who visit year after year... more about Bexhill.


Bexhill-on-Sea History

The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771AD.

At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as we know it today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill... more on Bexhill's history.
