Description

We headed towards the cliff car park, but it was too windy and cold.

Never the less I got out the car to take photos of these old buildings.

Area is called St Edmund's Point.

Found this old ruin at St Edmund's Point. It was St Edmund's Chapel.

The chapel was built in 1272 as it was believed that this was the site that Edmund the King of East Anglia landed on in 855 AD, after crossing the North Sea from Germany.

It was used as a place of worship for aroun 400 years before falling into neglect.

The area is now a Garden of Rest, which was created in 1918 by the Reverend A.A. Toms in memory of the local men who fell in the First World War.

It is Grade II listed.
