The medieval town of Old Winchelsea was destroyed by a great storm in 1287. Remarkably, it lasted for several hundred years on a shingle bank in the middle of Rye Bay in Sussex, England. This book describes the formation of the town, its incredible history of seaborne heroism, privateering and piracy, and its final destruction along with Dunwich in Suffolk, Old Romney, and Broomhill in a hurricane-like tide of massive proportions. The book describes the author's two years of research into all of the causes of the climate change that led to the town's demise. In recent times nuclear power stations have been built close to the site of Old Winchelsea and Dunwich. The author questions our readiness to cope with deadly storm surges in the face of global warming and sea level rises. The loss of this bustling town with its seven hundred homes, fifty inns, prisons, churches, salt pans, tide mills, royal apartments, and shipyards, is a salutary lesson for us today. What is the point of studying history if we don't learn from it?

Excerpt from The History of Winchelsea, One of the Ancient Towns Added to the Cinque Ports The maritime importance of Winchelsea, from the days of the Conqueror to the close of the 15th Century, made it desirable to have a more extended history than is to be found in any work relating to Sussex or to the Cinque Ports: and the publications of the Sussex Archaeological Society appeared to be the best mode of recording the particulars hitherto unpublished. The following pages owe their origin to that Society. The materials, however, were too numerous to carry out my first intention; and a separate work is the result. Many of the MSS. now printed are very interesting: the list of the owners of all the houses at the foundation of the new town, temp. Edw. I, and the accounts of the town, so early as 1388, are, I believe, peculiar to Winchelsea; and it is hoped that the entire work will be found worthy of the extensive support it has received. My warmest thanks are due to Sir Edward Cholmeley Dering, Bart., and to the Rev. Lambert B. Larking, through whose kindness a free use was granted of the valuable collection of Dering MSS.; and to Richard Stileman, Esq., William Holloway, Esq., and the Rev. Thomas W. Richards, for the aid, which their MSS. afforded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The port town of Winchelsea is mentioned in most books which discuss medieval England, mainly concentrating on the town as a member of the Cinque Ports. This monograph suggests that Winchelsea may have been considerably larger and more influential during the 13th and 14th centuries, than is usually considered to be the case.

Excerpt from The Story of King Edward and New Winchelsea: The Edification of a Medieval Town There are certain days in every year, when spring is fast ripening into summer, that an almost divine calm comes over the world, and nature seems' to be developing into life and health after a long winter of frost and snow, and a dreary interval of wind and rain. On such a day, from a grassy slope on the pendent of Fairlight Hill, I looked towards the wooded plateau where for merly stood the antient town of Winchelsea. The air was so still that it hardly carried the perfume of the full blooming gorse, or of the may just. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
