Our Lady of Good Counsel & St Peter

The twin-towered church sitting on the edge of March is a proper Victorian statement - all red brick and confident Gothic Revival details that feel slightly out of place in this flat Fenland landscape. Our Lady of Good Counsel and St Peter is the sort of building that makes you stop and actually look, rather than just walk past. Inside, the space opens up with genuine warmth, ornate ceiling work, and stained glass that catches the light properly when the sun's cooperating.

It's the kind of visit that works best if you're already in the area rather than a reason to make the journey alone. For anyone interested in Victorian church architecture or Catholic heritage in East Anglia, though, it's genuinely worth an hour of your time. The craftsmanship is solid, and there's something quite moving about the quietness of it all.

If you're staying at any of the local caravan parks - Fenland Camping just down the road, or Knightsbridge a bit further out - this makes a decent afternoon stop when you're exploring March itself. The town centre's only a short walk away. Allow thirty to forty minutes inside without rushing, maybe longer if you're actually studying the architectural details. No great logistical hassle here - it's simply open to visitors during daylight hours, and admission costs nothing. Don't expect it to be thrilling if medieval churches bore you senseless, but fans of Victorian restoration work and religious architecture will find it more than satisfactory.
