St Osyth history
Before being renamed St Osgyth, the village was called Chich (also spelt Chiche or Chick), from an Old English word meaning “bend”, a reference to St Osyth Creek. Later, the manor of Chich in Essex was assumed as part of the royal demesne by the Danish King Canute, who granted it to Earl Godwin. At the Conquest it was transferred to the See of London.
Legend of Saint Osyth
Legend has it that Saint Osyth, Osgyth or Ositha was a young lady involved in various fantastic events in her lifetime. The peninsula was cordoned off and used by the Navy and Army in both world wars. Between 1942 and 1944 it was a large, minor landing-craft training base called HMS Helder.
