Reviews of St Michael the Archangel's Church, Booton

Beautiful building but starting to suffer from neglect. I hope the Church makes an effort to preserve and restore the notable carvings in the roof

Beautiful church both inside and out in a lovely setting. A lovely place to come and sit and admire the stained glass and the angles on the roof.

This is my favourite church. I found it in 1993. Had to come again. It’s the history and the amazing build that makes it so interesting. The Norfolk flint covering it the huge wooden angels on the ceiling the intricate stone work. Get the history pamphlet and read about it.

Impressive and unusual church. There is a lay-by style parking area across the road which, although not busy, has some fast moving traffic. It was locked up when I visited but you can walk all the way round on a stone path and admire the architecture. There are a lot of stained glass windows which can't really be appreciated fully from outside but must be amazing inside on a sunny day. The graveyard and surrounding grass was looking unloved when I visited. I understand they have occasional dates when you can sleep overnight inside the church for a fee. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Very beautiful piece of architecture, can be visited any time, painted windows and wooden angels on the sealing, in fact I will attach some pictures. Was just passing by and it doesn't take long to see the wonders in it. Hope the pictures are relevant.

Want somewhere different to stay with friends? Fancy a quiet place in the country? Brave? Wrap up warm. We'll run, welcoming champing venue.

Lovely old Church, not in daily use. Lovely stained glass Windows. It has lovely carved wooden figures in the vaulted roof. Various carved plaques around the Church dedicated to local people. Two WW1 graves in the grave yard which is unfortunately overgrown. Still worth a visit to look round. Church relies on donations to help fund it's upkeep.

This is a relatively new church rebuilt in place of an older church which was at the same spot by the donor who built it in a very grand way with a lovely angel roof as well as stained glass windows. This church is now also used as a glamping site so one can stay here if one wishes.

Fascinating Church, apparently known as the Cathedral of the fields. Very grand for such a relatively remote church, in a small village. Stayed here for Champing, which was a unique and atmospheric experience, and well recommended, especially as your money goes towards the ongoing conservation of this and other churches which have fallen out of regular use.

Amazing building. Before the current church, there was an old church with a west tower, nave and chancel and the current church was built on its site. It was built by Whitwell Elwin, its rector and designer, between 1876 and 1900. It is remarkable that he was not an architect and unable to draw. He took many of his ideas from other churches which he visited extensively. The church is built in knapped Flint and stone with steeply pitched tiled roofs. There are two diagonally set west towers, nave, chancel, north porch, and south vestry. The nave has a hammerbeam roof with carved Angels and there is linenfold dado panelling around the walls. The stained glass in the church is by Cox, Sons and Buckley, circa 1880 assisted by Purchase and Booker. Many of the windows feature Angels. Unfortunately the vestry, which contains further stained glass and other interesting architectural features, is kept locked. In 1987 the church was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust, and repairs have subsequently been carried out.
