==History==
The building was constructed in 1790 as one of a pair of candle-powered lights ("High Lighthouse" and "Low Lighthouse").〔http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55129&sheetid=5983&ox=2925&oy=2631&zm=2&czm=2&x=393&y=277〕 It was electrified in 1947. The tower is tall, putting the lantern at above sea level.〔"Lighthouses of the World & Fog Signals" - Alexander Finlay, Richard Holmes
Laurie, 1888〕 The other lighthouse - the "low light" was lower. It was decommissioned and demolished in 1883 before it could be lost due to coastal erosion, its lantern being reused at Southwold lighthouse.〔(Point 2 - The Lighthouse ), ''BBC Suffolk''. Retrieved 2012-10-29.〕 Together they formed a pair of range lights that marked a safe passage around the southern end of the offshore Haisborough Sands to the safe waters of 'The Would'.〔(Happisburgh Village Website - History of Happisburgh Lighthouse )〕
