The St Agnes lighthouse was built in 1680 as the second lighthouse on the Isles of Scilly. It was Britain’s most westerly lighthouse until the Bishop Rock lighthouse was built in 1858.
The St Agnes light was originally coal fired, it was changed to oil in 1790 and upgraded in 1806 and again in 1880. It was decommissioned in 1911 after the Peninnis Lighthouse was built on St Mary's.
The lighthouse is still maintained as a day mark for local boats.
