seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England
About Bexhill
Bexhill (sometimes known as Bexhill-on-Sea) was created in 772 by King Offa II of Mercia when he granted power to the Bishop of Oswald to build a church. Almost 300 years later, William gave the settlement to Robert, Count of Eu. The town has had a few famous people visit it: Agatha Christie used it in her novelThe ABC Murders, and John Logie Baird, the creator of television, spent his last years in Bexhill. The town, like many other English seaside resorts, is now much more a settled community. Although there is a small entertainment area on the seafront, it now has a large retired population, like much of the south coast. In 2021, it had a population of about 44,000.
