Description

In the Anglo-Saxon period, Dunwich was the capital of the Kingdom of the East Angles, but the harbour and most of the town have since disappeared due to coastal erosion. At its height it was an international port similar in size to 14th-century London.Its decline began in 1286 when a storm surge hit the East Anglian coast] followed by a great storm in 1287 and another great storm, also in 1287, until it eventually shrank to the village it is today.
