Admiral Lord Nelson is considered to have actually discovered a number of his seafaring abilities in these waters, as well as also shared a residence near the little harbour with his mistress, Lady Hamilton.

The church is the single enduring feature from the medieval duration. The community was first stood for by two members of parliament in 1572.
