Medieval church
Reculver in Kent, UK has been settled since Roman times. Originally a fort whose purpose was to protect an ancient waterway, now silted up, that allowed boats to avoid the open sea and pirates in the English Channel. Only a medieval church ruin remains, and it now stands perilously close to the edge of the sea. Desperate to save it from being lost forever, sea defences try to prevent erosion of the shore, and no doubt eventually all will be lost, like the waterway it protected.
