Flying Through History S01E05 - Greyfriars and Dunwich
Summary:
The tale of a town that literally fell into the sea. We fly through Dunwich in coastal Suffolk, its history from the Roman era, its time as one of the biggest commercial centres in England, right through to the present as the largest underwater Medieval site in Europe. This series of short documentaries offers a dynamic perspective on British history through hard-to-access places and untold stories. Agile drones bring us to historic locations we would not normally be able to visit, and enable us to see them from angles and heights we'd never be able to experience otherwise. As well as the historical information, the films are intended to be a visceral viewing experience in which the sheer pleasure of flying through narrow spaces and into apertures is at the core.
