Dunwich – The medieval town lost at sea
Dunwich is a quaint seaside village in Suffolk, England that can boast a fine pub, tea room and small beach popular with holidaymakers. But underlying this picture postcard setting, Dunwich hides a unique history of a medieval town that succumbed to ruin by the elements.
The story of Dunwich starts in the Roman period, with scant but suggestive evidence of a large settlement. The Anglo-Saxon chronicler Bede referred to “Dunmoc†as a “Civitasâ€, with archaeological discoveries including a Roman tumulus and masonry trawled from the nearby seabed.
