Background
History
The site of the village was inhabited and the surrounding area used for agriculture at least as far back as the medieval period. Crop marks visible from the air suggest that the site may have been inhabited as far back as Roman times, however. An ordnance survey map from 1866 shows that there was a blacksmith's workshop in the village at that time. During World War II, various defences were established near the village, including anti-tank cubes on Druridge Bay beach.
