Why this spot
13th century Norman port borough deserted after silting
Borough and port founded by William Marshal after the Norman conquest, still a town with a provost and bailiff in the 14th century and counted as a town in the 16th. Sandbars made the harbour unusable by the 17th century and the town was deserted; by 1833 only one family lived there.View source →
