Footnote
Note: The first Eddystone Lighthouse was an octagonal wooden structure designed by Henry Winstanley. Begun in 1696 and completed in 1698 it survived its first winter but was completely destroyed in the Great Storm of 1703. Winstanley and four colleagues who were working on the lighthouse at the time lost their lives.
