Old Hunstanton lighthouse and the remains of St Edmund's Chapel, Hunstanton, Norfolk, England

---

Although there has been a lighthouse on the cliffs at Old Hunstanton since 1665, the current structure dates from 1840 and was decommissioned in 1922. It is now a private home. The chapel 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 the Vikings, was defeated, captured and martyred and became the first patron saint of England.
