context_page_description: St Osyth is an English village and civil parish in the Tendring District of north-east Essex, about 5 miles west of Clacton-on-Sea and about 12 miles south-east of Colchester. It is located on the B1027 road. The village is named after Osgyth, a 7th-century saint and princess. Locally, the name is sometimes pronounced "Toosey".

  St Osyth parish extends south from the village to the coast, and includes the smaller villages Point Clear and Lee-over-Sands.
  Although a significant part of the parish boundary is coastline, which does not need to be "beaten", St Osyth is one parish which maintains the tradition of beating the bounds on Rogation days.
