Happisburgh Lighthouse in Happisburgh on the North Norfolk coast is the only independently operated lighthouse in Great Britain. It is also the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia.
The building was constructed in 1790 as one of a pair of candle-powered lights . In 1801 candle power gave way to oil lamps and reflectors. In 1863 the lantern stage was replaced with the diagonally-framed glass structure seen today and four years later the reflectors were replaced in each lighthouse by a large catadioptric lens designed by James Chance.
