	CCAG :Why save Happisburgh?
		Happisburgh has no less than 18 listed buildings, including the Grade I listed 12th Century church, the lighthouse which is the only working lighthouse in the UK privately run and maintained, and its principal house, Happisburgh Manor (known locally as St. Mary's) recognised as one of England's seminal Arts and Crafts houses.
		Happisburgh bridges the gap between the hard defences to the south and north - a potential weak link in the chain of measures put in place to protect the low-lying northern Broads from flooding.
		The composition of Happisburgh's cliffs is mostly mud thus the sediment supply from the cliffs at Happisburgh is of very little or no benefit to longshore drift rates of the North Norfolk coast.

	Happisburgh, East Norfolk Coast, including Happisburgh Lighthouse
		The lovely coastal village of Happisburgh (pronounced "Haisbro") is dominated by two main buildings - the red and white candy striped lighthouse and the large village church with its tall tower.
		The sandy beach extends for miles in both directions, but is dominated by the cliff protection barrier, helping to slow the rate of cliff erosion which has been pretty devastating in Happisburgh (some properties have been lost to the sea).
		The red and white striped lighthouse was built in 1791, originally one of a pair - the pair formed leading lights marking safe passage around the southern end of the treacherous Happisburgh Sands - but it was not always effective, as the graves in the churchyard show.
