A storm hits the southern coast of England in February 1287 with such ferocity that whole areas of coastline are redrawn.

Silting up and cliff collapses lead to towns that had stood by the sea finding themselves landlocked, while others that had been inland found themselves with access to the sea.

The city of Winchelsea on Romney Marsh is destroyed (later rebuilt on the cliff top behind).

Nearby Broomhill is also destroyed.
