 | | In 1199, Dunwich was granted a royal charter, and become a Borough, electing a council, as well as magistrates and officers, two bailiffs, a recorder and a coroner. |
 | | In 1295, Dunwich was enfranchised to send two members to Parliament, elected by the freemen of the Borough. |
 | | At the end of the 18th century, we read of people travelling to Dunwich on election day, going out in a boat to the point where the town hall used to be, and casting their vote. |
