A Visit To Bosham

Sunday saw me visit the historic town of Bosham in West Sussex.

Bosham was the place where King Canute famously demonstrated that he could not turn back the tide and got his feet wet.

King Canute's 8 year old daughter is buried in Bosham church.

The tide is also still important in Bosham. The coast road floods each high tide, and the pub has to have a watertight bulkhead door.
