*************

Pevensey is a village and civil parish^[2] in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England. The main village is located 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Eastbourne, one mile (1.6 km) inland from Pevensey Bay. The settlement of Pevensey Bay forms part of the parish. It was here that William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066.

Pevensey is situated on a spur of sand and clay, about 10 metres (33 ft) above sea level. In Roman times this spur was a peninsula that projected into a tidal lagoon and marshes. A small river, Pevensey Haven, runs along the north side of the peninsula and would originally have discharged into the lagoon, but is now largely silted up.^[3] The lagoon extended inland as far north as Hailsham and eastwards to Hooe. With the effect of longshore drift this large bay was gradually cut off from the sea by shingle, so that today's marshes are all that remain behind the shingle beach.

The marshes, known as the Pevensey Levels, cover an area of around 47 miles² (120 km²). They are a Site of Special Scientific Interest^[4] and a large nature reserve, jointly owned by Natural England and the Sussex Wildlife Trust.^[5] There are many nationally rare plants and invertebrates, including the fen raft spider. The site is very fragile and general access is not permitted.

The settlement of Pevensey Bay^[6] lies behind and on the shingle beach. Although small, it is nevertheless a seaside resort in miniature, and has many of the facilities of its larger counterparts elsewhere.

The name Pevensey was first recorded in 947 as Pefenesea, meaning ""River of [a man named] Pefen"". It derives from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Pefen plus eã, ""river"", presumably a reference to the now largely silted-up Pevensey Haven.^[7]
