More about this scene

Kingsdown was a fishing village, with a strong tradition of commitment to the sea from generations of the same families. Some properties remain on the sites once lived in by their Viking forebears. Kingsdown was first known as Romny Codde, and was established around 1200. St John's Church was built by a nobleman, William Curling, in 1850, and a school, now the village hall, was built in 1840.
