| According to BP1934, "The Bathursts are stated to have come into England in the time of the Saxons, from a place called Batters, in the duchy of Luneburg. They gained a settlement near Battle, Sussex, which they called Batters-hurst, which name was eventually contracted to Bathurst." | |||||||||||||||
