HISTORY It was from harbour of Dives-sur-Mer that William The Conqueror set out on the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 , but silting up over the centuries has since left the town well inland from the sea. A monumental plaque in the church lists the companions of the Conqueror. The medieval wooden market hall is also among the attractions of the town.
