Description
A sketch of Old Hunstanton Lighthouse from St Edmunds Chapel, Norfolk, UK
The chapel, now in ruins, was erected in 1272 in memory of St Edmund who landed at Hunstanton in 855 to be crowned King of East Anglia. He led an army against Viking invaders but was defeated, captured and martyred. He became the first patron saint of England. All that remains of the chapel now is the south doorway.
The present lighthouse was built in 1840 and ceased operations in 1922.
