Dunwich is a village and civil parish in the English county of
Suffolk. It is located in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB
around north-east of London, south of Southwold and north of
Leiston on the North Sea coast. Its population at the 2001
census was 84.  In the Anglo-Saxon period, Dunwich was the
capital of Kingdom of the East Angles but the harbour and most
of the town have since disappeared due to coastal erosion. Its
decline began in 1286 when a storm surge hit the East Anglian
coast, and it was eventually reduced in size to the village it
is today.  Research Tips
