St Mary's Church, Happisburgh

Highlight • Historical Site

There was a church recorded here in Domesday Book of 1086. After the Abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539, the church passed to the Bishop of Norwich. The Norman church was completely rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries. However, some of the original stones survive.

Happisburgh Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1790, this is the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia and still provides safe passage for ships around the treacherous Haisborough Sands. Today, the lighthouse is painted white with three red bands, making for a quirky photograph opportunity. It is the UK's only independently run lighthouse and is open to the public on certain days.

Built in 1790, Happisburgh Lighthouse is the oldest working light in East Anglia and the only independtly-run lighthouse in the UK. The iconic red and white tower is 85 feet (26 meters) high, housing its light which can be seen up to 18 miles (29 km) away.
