About Burnham-on-Sea Seafront Range Rear Lighthouse
Also known as: Burnham-on-Sea Seafront Range Rear (St. Andrew's Church)
A square stone church tower, standing 11 meters tall, serves as the rear range light for Burnham-on-Sea. Its focal plane is 12 meters above sea level, and it emits a continuous red light visible for 11 nautical miles. The structure is part of the St. Andrew's Church complex, which has been a landmark since 1315. This light's history traces back to the 1700s when a light was first displayed from the church tower. The navigational light was later moved to the Round Tower in 1801 and then integrated into the Trinity House range light system in 1832.
Why it matters: This light is significant for its integration into the historic St. Andrew's Church, a medieval structure serving the community since 1315. Its continuous red light provides guidance for vessels navigating near Burnham-on-Sea.
