A World War Two emergency coast defence battery survives largely intact together with two ancillary structures on the cliff top at Mundesley. It has been visited on the ground and is also visible on aerial photographs; the latter indicate that it was constructed between 30 July 1941 and 4 January 1943. It consists of two gun emplacements which held ex-Naval 6-inch guns, projecting off an integral, semi-subterranean accommodation and storage block. Three ancillary buildings (two of which survive, one as a garden shed) are visible on wartime photographs. One of these was probably a battery observation point the two on the landward side of the battery have been described as generator houses. The battery was put on 'Care and Maintenance' in 1944, and its guns removed in late 1945 or early 1946. source: https://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?MNF14142

When the railways reached this area of Norfolk in about 1900 a resurgence of interest in the area created funds to repair the ruined church. In 1904 the western end was extended and then in 1914 the nave was also extended with a new chancel on the site of the old ruined one.
