All that said, here's more information you need to know about West Mersea:

HISTORY

It is believed that there existed a small Roman settlement in West Mersea due to the discovery of Roman buildings and tessalated pavements near the quayside. A port is also thought to have existed on the site of the modern town. The presence of a burial mound dating to the Roman times is further evidence that West Mersea may have been settled during the Roman period.

The island was granted to the abbey of St Quen in Rouen, France in 1046 and the establishment of the Priory of West Mersea followed.
