The Beautiful one time Fishing Village of Runswick

Runswick Bay to give it it's full name. Now of course it's all holiday cottages, but still a joy to visit.
This is the second village built on the same spot, this is the story of the First
"
One dark night in 1664, while local people were attending a wake, the whole village of Runswick slipped into the sea…


Thankfully, all the villagers escaped but by morning there was only one house left standing… the house of the dead man! "

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction!

"The Lord moves in mysterious ways
His wonders to perform"
Comes to mind, and I'll bet there wasn't a soul missing from Church on the next Sunday!
