Great forces of history are all very well, but sometimes it is the spark of a single person's unique vision and imagination which changes things in surprising ways. I make this statement having visited the church at Booton twice over the last week. Located near Reepham in Norfolk, I just had to go back in order to confirm that what I thought I'd seen really was there - and it was!
What we have here is what might be described as an eccentric Victorian 'folly'; an eclectic jumble, tumbling from the brain of the Reverend Whitwell Elvin. Words really fail me on this one - go and see it for yourself!
