A fascinating tale. All my life I've lived in Norfolk and never knew of this history

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Thank you! Yeah it just goes to show how forgotten some places in East Anglia are, at least it keeps the place so magical ☺️

[@wertperch]

I knew a little of this history, and the legend of the church bells! Thanks again for informative material!

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

It's a pleasure 👌

[@gturino37]

Thanks for the video. Very informative. Excellent edit.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Lovely stuff thank you ☺️

[@rossstephen7013]

Really interesting and high quality video, keep it up :)

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Thank you! I recently invested in some professional footage to help make my videos better so glad it's appreciated ☺️

[@lesleysmith51]

Truly fascinating I don't think I 🤔 had a geographic history lesson. So sad at all that lost history though and the loss that will carry on. Hope the military is going well.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Yeah the more I read about it, the more I realise how different medieval Britain used to be, specifically east Anglia

[@danielbofinger]

Bravo! This is really very nicely done

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Ayy thank you, this is actually one of my favourite videos

[@martynwestwood4158]

As someone that grew up in Southwold just up the coast I'm fully aware of the power of the north sea, the story of dunwich is fascinating and I must say the museum there shows what it used to look like before it fell in to the sea 😢

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Yes it is a tragedy what happened to Dunwich :(
