13th Century Flooding of Theddlethorpe and the North Sea Basin

Archaeologist, aerial photographer, tutor and local history expert Simon Tomson, will give a talk on 13th Century Coastal Flooding at Theddlethorpe and the North Sea Basin.

On New Year’s Day 1287 a huge storm surge is reported to have washed away much of the town and port of Dunwich in Suffolk. Across the Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire Fens, churches and villages were destroyed, and much of the lower-lying land inundated by seawater. The church of Mablethorpe St Peter was lost, torn apart by the waves.
