Did you know that the church at Blakeney in Norfolk has what may be a unique feature – a lighthouse tower? The Church is fittingly dedicated to St Nicholas , patron saint of fishermen. It has an ordinary church tower, if a particularly high and fine one, but at the other end of the building near the chancel stands a miniature version, from which a light was shone for sailors returning to what was once an important port.
