Lyons Close, High Street, was built in the 17th century. Constructed of red and grey brick under a tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1043085 Now a village, the former town of Pevensey is set some five miles (8 km) northeast of Eastbourne, and about one mile inland from Pevensey Bay where the Normans landed in 1066. The village is located on a spur of land that was a peninsula that projected into a tidal lagoon, now reclaimed marshland. In 1207 Pevensey was granted a royal charter and was governed by Pevensey Corporation which was dissolved in 1886 and the town lost its borough status.
