In the 1990s Burnham High Lighthouse was deactivated and sold by Trinity House. We understand it was bought by a member of the Rothschild Family. Thereafter around 1996 it changed hands to the current owner.

Burnham High Lighthouse was designed and built by Joseph Nelson for Trinity House, in the 1830s. The tower was equipped with a paraffin lamp, which shone through a half-gallery under a window. Burnham High Tower was used in conjunction with the Low Lighthouse which is still operating. The latter replaced the original Roundhouse Tower Lighthouse.
