About St Michael the Archangel's Church, Booton

The church sits in Booton village east of Norwich, and it's impossible to miss - two identical round towers rise from the roof like something from a Victorian architect's fever dream. Built in the 1870s, St Michael the Archangel's is one of Norfolk's most eccentric churches, with those twin towers dominating the countryside in a way that feels completely unlike anything else around here.

Inside, the Victorian Gothic revival work is actually quite striking. Ornate woodwork, detailed stonework, and the sheer oddness of the design make it worth a proper look if you're into church architecture or Victorian excess. The exterior is the real draw though - those towers photograph brilliantly, and they're visible from miles around if you're driving through the area.

It won't take you long. Twenty minutes to half an hour is enough to walk around, take photos, and peer inside if it's open. It's free, which is always a bonus. The real appeal here is architectural curiosity rather than historical weight - this is a church built because someone wanted to be bold and different, not because of centuries-old significance.

If you're based at Moat Island Glamping or Top Farm Campsite nearby, it's a straightforward detour. The village itself is quiet, genuinely rural Norfolk, so combine it with a walk round the parish if the weather's decent. Don't go expecting soaring medieval interiors or famous artwork. Go because you want to see two fat towers sticking out of a Victorian church roof and marvel at how someone got planning permission for it.
