An exploration of events leading up to the Battle of Hastings, the Battle itself and its immediate aftermath. There is a particular emphasis of the role of the historical geography of eastern Sussex

In 2011 Keith was asked to write a history of the churches of Battle and this was a local success. But it was only after he joined Battle and District Historical Society that his historical book writing expanded its width, producing in 2015, together with Neil Clephane-Cameron, with advice from Professor John Gillingham, a book about the Norman Conquest as part of the commemoration of the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, 1066 and the Battle of Hastings - Preludes, Events and Postscripts. This book goes into rather more detail about prior events and historical geographic elements than usual. He and Neil produced this second edition in 2021.
