Men of Dunwich - The Story of a Vanished Town by Rowland Parker
Dunwich is a magical place. Once a bustling and prosperous port and shipyard of medieval East Anglia, Dunwich was shaped and battered and finally engulfed by the stormy seas which had provided its livelihood, leaving only a ruined coast, a solitary gravestone and, some may, the sound of muffled church bells beneath the waves. The men of Dunwich are the men who traded, prayed in churches, fished for herrings, built ships, paid their dues to kings, evaded taxes, engaged in piracy and continual litigation with rival ports in the centuries-old struggle to live and prosper by the sea.
