A taste of Tapestry life at public exhibition showcasing new homes coming to Battle

Local residents and house hunters will have the opportunity to explore the new homes coming to the ‘Tapestry at Blackfriars’ development in Battle during a special event taking place at Battle Memorial Hall on 24 October 2025.

‘Introducing Tapestry at Blackfriars’ is a free, public event organised by Rother DC Housing Company (RDCHC) which will showcase the new 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes currently under construction at the development – its name inspired by the Bayeaux Tapestry which tells the story of the Norman Conquest of 1066 which sealed Battle’s place in British history.

Visitors are invited to drop in between 4pm and 7pm to view site plans and computer-generated images (CGIs) of the properties. Those interested in buying a new home can register their interest in the first properties soon to be released for market sale and shared ownership.

Home builders, Greymoor Construction, will be in attendance to provide more details about the building programme, site layout and build designs.

“We’re looking forward to this latest opportunity to meet local residents, update everyone on our progress, and showcase the new homes,” said Graham Morris, Managing Director of Greymoor Construction. “Building homes goes hand in hand with building communities, and we’re excited to be part of Battle’s future. We encourage everyone to pop in to see what’s on offer and how the new development will look once it reaches completion in Autumn 2027.”

Visitors will also discover how project partners are working together with community groups and local businesses to create a thriving new community at Tapestry, through street naming competitions and community tree planting projects planned as part of Battle’s 2027 celebrations to mark the 1000^th anniversary of the birth of William the Conqueror. 

“Everyone is welcome along to discover more about the wonderful new homes coming to Battle and we can’t wait to welcome the first residents to Tapestry from early 2026,” said Richard Thomas, Chair of Rother DC Housing Company. “This public event marks an exciting milestone for Rother DC Housing Company. In partnership with Rother District Council, Places for People, and with vital funding from Homes England, we are successfully delivering our first major housing project – the largest such development rural Rother has seen for over 10 years.”

Leading UK social enterprise, Places for People (PfP) will also be in attendance to discuss the affordable housing options. John Kerr, Regional Managing Director for Places for People Developments, South East commented: “At PfP, we create thriving communities with people at the heart of our developments. As the sector’s biggest builder of new family homes over the past year, we deliver and partner in locations where we know we can make a meaningful difference. We’re proud of the relationship we’ve established with Rother DC Housing Company and excited to deliver all the 130 homes we acquire from RDCHC as affordable tenures.”
