This poor quaint English village is slowly falling into the sea. I believe it has been doing so for many decades now. Measures have been taken over the years to stop the erosion but alas it still progresses.
There are signs along the coastal areas to warn folk of imminent danger.
Famous for it's red and white striped lighthouse built in 1790, and St. Mary's, a beautiful 15th century church.
I was very taken with the medieval stone octagonal font, featuring carvings of Angels, symbols of the Evangelists and my personal favourite, Wildmen (woodwoses) and funny faced adorable Lions.
It would be so sad if all this was lost to the sea. Let's hope the local powers that be continue to fight the erosion.
