 | Broad Oak and Brede.
The village is first mentioned in a charter from the time of King Canute (1016-1035). The name is probably derived from the Anglo-Saxon word "Bred" which means broad. The valley below was completely filled with sea-water at the time and reached as far as Sedlescombe. It is also possible that the name came from the "Brid" family who were masters of the mint at Hastings. The mint was founded by King Athelstan in 924.
In 1030 the Manor of Brede was granted by decree to the Abbey of Fecamp in Normandy, and until 1416, Brede was controlled by the Abbey. The church was built by the Benidictine monks from the Abbey around 1180. Very little of the early church remains, and the majority stems from the 12th century. |
