St. George's Hill
From Historical Hastings
This is the part of the East Hill that slopes down to form the eastern slope of the Old Town valley, and was owned by the Milward Estate during the 19th Century. It also encloses St Georges Graveyard. Although there has never been a St. George's Church in Hastings, it is suggested that this may refer to the church at Brede, and the Manor of Brede certainly owned much land in the Hastings area[1]
