About Dover Roman Lighthouse, Kent
Roman forces built a lighthouse, or pharos, at Dover in the early centuries of their occupation of Britain to guide ships into its harbor. It stood as one of a pair flanking the harbor entrance, guiding Roman shipping across the Channel. In the Anglo-Saxon period it was incorporated into the adjoining church as a bell tower.
