The London Clay cliffs here are eroding rather rapidly. This road continued to the church once, and beyond, but the church, built about 1595, was abandoned and partly dismantled in the 19th century. Its remains went over the cliff in about 1880. Its site is now about 250 m beyond this current end of the road, although if its remains slithered down the slope as more recent buildings have, they would be even further out to sea. The 1595 church replaced an earlier church whose site is suggested to be further along the former road about a mile out to sea now.
