Lighting of the Beacon 2024
Frampton Parish Council will be lighting the beacon June 6th 2024 at 9.15pm
The Millennium Beacon and the commemorative Millstone are sited on the Meridian line as it runs from Greenwich through our Parish of Frampton. They are situated, one each side of the road, on Frampton Roads between the postcodes of PE20-1AX and 1AY. The site is 1.2 miles East of St. Mary's Church, Frampton and 1.0 mile West from R.S.P.B. Frampton marsh.
The Beacon was erected in November 1999 in readiness for the arrival of the Millennium in 2000.
Though the construction was undertaken by Frampton Parish Council with assistance from Boston Borough Council, most of the work was overseen and carried out by the then Chairman Cllr. Graham Reams. The Millstone denotes the fact that the Meridian line crosses the Parish at this point.
