Dunwich

Dunwich, once a prosperous seaport and centre of the wool trade in the county of Suffolk in England during the early middle ages, was lost to the sea over a period of two to three hundred years through a form of coastal erosion known as long-shore drift. Little remains now but a village, the remains of an abbey and a building constructed as a hospice for lepers.
