This plaque is attached to the former Court Hall or Town Hall seen at Image From the early 13th century until 1886, Pevensey had its own Corporation. Now a museum, this building was the Court Hall, or Town Hall, on the first floor and gaol on the ground floor. The building is probably medieval and was refaced with cement in the 19th century. The roof is of tile. To the rear of the court hall is a house, Wallby, which is an 18th century addition - see Image Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1182588 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.
