The Great Bell of Burgh-le-Marsh
Like many people living along the coast in times past, the people of Burgh-le-Marsh once made a handsome living from ‘wrecking’. In stormy weather, if a ship was spotted in difficulty, the local folk would light a beacon on Marsh Hill, which the poor ship’s crew would mistake for the safety of a lighthouse, steering their vessel onto the treacherous sands.
