It piqued my interest as I lived in Wiltshire for many years; the home of Stonehenge. The idea of a watery counterpart, as it were, was intriguing. I kept the magazine for years and years but I think it went the way of all things &#8211; it got lost in a house move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I now live in East Cambridgeshire, which is very near to the location of Seahenge. So, it wasn&#8217;t long before a visit was on the cards &#8211; in search of Seahenge. It was discovered at Holme-next-the-Sea, on the North Norfolk coast, just above Hunstanton in 1998<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The details of the monument are well documented and a bit of searching (using <a href=\"https:\/\/artsandculture.google.com\/story\/pwVhBxecshzaMQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this resource<\/a>) hi-lighted a few of things<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There&#8217;s nothing to see at Holme-next-the-Sea<\/li><li>The monument (designated Holme I) was removed, stabilised and found its resting place at King&#8217;s Lynn at the Lynn Museum<\/li><li>There was a &#8216;Holme II&#8217;, a second &#8216;Seahenge discovered in 1999, very close to Holme I but this was left in situ, to be buried by the sea again<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I was unperturbed, I still wanted to visit the site, to get a feel for the place where this ancient henge was sited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">North Norfolk Coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>mu and I set off on a cool morning and made our way to the north coast of Norfolk. It was an easy drive, near due North for us from Ely. We made for Thornton as it was nearby, we had been there before and I remembered there was coffee there, at the Thornton Deli. The car park was full so no coffee yet. We drove back, over to Holme.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/murpworks.com\/lightonalens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/murpworkschrome_thornhamDeliCoffeeCup_900x1200_web-768x1024.png\" alt=\"murpworkschrome - Light on a Lens - In Search of Seahenge - thornham deli Coffee Cup image\" class=\"wp-image-1340\" width=\"192\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/murpworks.com\/lightonalens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/murpworkschrome_thornhamDeliCoffeeCup_900x1200_web-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/murpworks.com\/lightonalens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/murpworkschrome_thornhamDeliCoffeeCup_900x1200_web-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/murpworks.com\/lightonalens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/murpworkschrome_thornhamDeliCoffeeCup_900x1200_web-738x984.png 738w, https:\/\/murpworks.com\/lightonalens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/murpworkschrome_thornhamDeliCoffeeCup_900x1200_web.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The approach to the coast where Seahenge is located is via a Golf Course.

The alternative route to the beach, past the back of the Golf Club&#8217;s eighth tee took us through the dunes. The dunes have moved inland over the thousands of years and the trudge through loose sand and the specific flora that sand dunes support (Sea Pinks, Sea Holly and more) is a great contrast to the expanse of beach you eventually reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The landscape has obviously changed significantly since Seahenge was created. It was under sand and undersea and it was a specific storm that revealed the monument in 1998, otherwise it may never have been discovered.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk\/lynn-museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lynn museum<\/a> houses the stabilised pieces of Seahenge, including the central upturned tree.
