Industrious and en'light'ening...

I was a litle confused concerning the mediaeval lighthouses, there's a section that states the IOW one is the second oldest adter the Dover Pharos, then another section claims it;s the oldest in Britain.

Also, an errant fw found by the fighter bombers that is uncecessary on first read through, but enjoyed it.

As with any of this type of Entry, pictures would enhance its impact.

I was a litle confused concerning the mediaeval lighthouses, there's a section that states the IOW one is the second oldest after the Dover Pharos, then another section claims it;s the oldest in Britain.

It is the second oldest lighthouse in the British Isles, after the Roman Pharos at Dover (circa 2nd Century AD), and therefore is the oldest mediæval lighthouse. The Roman lighthouse is Roman.

Agreed! I'll have to keep an eye out for some.
