GUEST,henryp Folklore: city that sank into the sea (56* d) RE: Folklore: city that sank into the sea 24 Oct 20


When a settlement disappears beneath the water, the bells are what remains of its voice, ringing out across generations to tell the world of what was lost.

The town of Dunwich – a port which once rivalled London – was eaten away by coastal erosion until, by 1912, all that remained was the ruined church tower “teetering on the edge of the cliff. Now nothing remains on dry land.” But legends of its bells still ringing from beneath the waves carry the story of this East Anglian Atlantis back to shore.

Further north, the residents of Cromer tell of a strange noise that is sometimes heard from the sea, over the wind and the waves: the lost village of Shipden, still ringing its church bells for parishioners who come no more.
