Dunwich was a prosperous coastal town on the Suffolk coast in early Medieval times. It was to suffer from coastal erosion in the 13th and 14th Centuries with large parts of the thriving port being swept into the sea. Much of the town continued to disappear and All Saints' Church, the last surviving church in the town, collapsed in 1919 with only one gravestone remaining perched on the cliff today.
