Monken Hadley Church near Barnet is well-known for having a beacon on top of its tower.
It is said to have been in use when the Armada was spotted during Elizabeth I’s reign.
There will be a rare lighting on Monday 4 June as part of the nationwide chain for Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.
The official time is 10.20pm.
We remember it being lit in 1988 to mark the 400th anniversary of the Armada, when John was Headteacher at the school. A beautiful, friendly church.
