This vintage-style Battle tea towel features Battle Abbey, shown from the approach road with its solid stone tower rising calmly above surrounding walls and trees. The scene captures the quiet dignity of this historic site, forever associated with the Battle of Hastings and the shaping of England’s history.
Rendered in soft stone greys, muted greens, and a clear Sussex sky blue, the artwork reflects the restrained elegance of a classic British travel poster. Clean lines and balanced colour fields give the design a timeless quality, celebrating Battle not as a dramatic moment, but as a place lived in and walked through today.
Both practical and decorative, this Battle tea towel brings a strong sense of local heritage into the kitchen. It’s ideal for those who love East Sussex, historic towns, and meaningful souvenirs that connect everyday life with place and history.
Printed on 100% cotton and handmade in Britain by our small family business, each tea towel is carefully finished for regular use while preserving the clarity and character of the original illustration.
