West Furze

Cliff Crumble The incessant submission to the sea of the Holderness cliffs continues apace - particularly at this time of the year. A photo of the cliffs in this square taken by a previous Geograph submitter in 2005, shows a road running parallel to the cliff edge. A rough estimate means that the road will now be at least 50 metres "over the cliff" in just the 16 years that have gone by since then!

All Saints Church, Tunstall The church has a chancel, aisled nave and west tower. It is built of boulders with ashlar dressings, 13th-century but with 12th-century masonry in the chancel. There is herringbone masonry. Many walls in the village use cobbles in this way too.

All Saints' church Now just 580m from the North Sea, All Saints' church would have been several miles from the coast when the 13th century chancel was built. The nave and lower stages of the tower are 14th century with a 15th century crenelated top to the tower.

Cliff top path The road which even recent OS maps mark has been lost to the sea. Even this path is perilously close at times. Much of it will probably be gone after next winter.
