DescriptionChurch of St Oswald, Lythe - geograph.org.uk - 1408976.jpg
English: Church of St Oswald, Lythe Commanding spectacular views of the North Sea from its position at the top of Lythe Bank, this striking church continues the tradition of worship at this site that almost certainly began in Viking times. Largely rebuilt by Sir Walter Tapper in 1911, some parts of an earlier church building do remain. There are records of a church at Lythe from the twelfth century but carved stones found at the site indicate worship and settlement there from earlier times. They are Anglo-Danish in origin and date from around the ninth century.
The place name "Lythe" is derived from 'hlith' - meaning "the slope" or "slope" in Old Scandanavian.
