The town of Dunwich on the Suffolk coast is predominantly known, I’m afraid to say, for going in the sea. The sad and inexorable fate of this lost city of England has inspired cultural icons from H.P. Lovecraft to Brian Eno; W.G. Sebald to Lovejoy. Ruth and Chris explore how Dunwich went from a thriving and prosperous harbour town to a mournful collection of masonry beneath the cold waves of the North Sea. Farmland and fields? IN THE SEA. Several lovely churches? IN THE SEA. A Masonic temple? Well, the Dissolution of the Monasteries actually… and then, inevitably, IN THE SEA.

We also drink some courgette martinis!
