TQ2549 : Armada Beacon, Priory Park and Reigate Priory

taken 12 years ago, near to Reigate, Surrey, England

Armada Beacon, Priory Park and Reigate Priory
Armada Beacon, Priory Park and Reigate Priory
The Reigate and Banstead Borough Crest on the Armada Beacon (see TQ2549 : Armada Beacon, Priory Park ) erected in 1988 as part of the Armada 400th anniversary celebrations. It is especially fitting that a beacon was placed here, given that Reigate Priory (in the background) was home to Howard of Effingham, who as Lord Admiral commanded the English fleet in its defeat of the Spanish Armada (see TQ2549 : Reigate Priory). In the distance is Reigate Hill.
