In pictures: British seaside history, Skinny-dipping king
Previously of little interest to anyone but fishermen, Britain's coastline gained popularity with the fashion for a medicinal dip. References to bathing in the sea - as opposed to the spas already popular with the gentry - were made as early as 1732. King George III set an example followed by many upper-class Britons when, in 1789, he went skinny-dipping at Weymouth.
Possibly the divorce of Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon. It led to a break with Rome and the monasteries and changed Britain's social and cultural life forever.
