Lying close to Ashingdon, Canewdon shares it’s history, particularly with regard to King Canute, who is shown on the sign. Nearby earthworks suggest that this is where Canute made camp before his victorious battle over Edmund, and that the village name originated from that event (Canute’s Dun).

The impressive church tower is said to have been erected by Henry V in thanksgiving for his victory at Agincourt , and a local legend states that as long as the tower stands, there will be witches found in Canewdon.
