Informations supplémentaires

Happisburgh became a site of national archaeological importance in 2010 when flint tools over 800, 000 years old were unearthed. This is the oldest evidence of human occupation anywhere in the UK The part of the village near the coast regularly experiences severe erosion and houses that used to be over 20 feet from the sea now sit at the edge of a cliff and will later fall into the sea. Sea defences were built in 1959 to stop the tide from eating away at the coast. The red-and-white striped lighthouse, half a mile to the south of the church is the only independently operated lighthouse in Great Britain. It is also the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia having been constructed in 1790. It is open to the public on occasional Sundays during the summer
