Etchingham was a mansion a long period of time before the Norman occupation of 1066; after this time the estate was taken control of by the Normans. In 1166 it was entrusted to the de Achyngham (Etchingham) family members, who were popular landowners of the time. The Etchingham family members papers document that William was so pleased with his right-hand man that he provided him the land currently known as Etchingham. The moated manor house, time out of mind knocked down, stood at the factor currently inhabited by the London to Hastings train line. A few of the rock from the estate was possibly made use of in the construction of the station structures.
