St. Mary’s Church / Somerton

This tree is sometimes called ‘The Witch’s Finger.’ Looking at it, it’s not hard to see why. It’s straight and has few branches, and with a bit of imagination it could easily be a giant finger pointing out of the earth. But according to legend, the oak tree isn’t a finger at all. Instead, it’s a leg. Centuries ago, when St. Mary’s was still in use, it is said that a witch with a wooden leg was caught and buried alive in the church’s foundations. From her wooden leg, the oak tree grew and ruined the church, coaxed by her vengeful spirit.

Gale force winds cause havoc with drifting snow

Winter 2018 and the Beast from the East laid inches of snow on the Norfolk countryside. I witnessed strong gale force winds which stripped this Somerton field of snow in a matter of minutes and cause 6ft snow drifts where it settled on the road.

Pulls Ferry

This iconic Norfolk landmark is Pulls Ferry, on the bank of the River Wensum. A canal used to run under the arch, where the 15th century monks would ferry the French stone to the cathedral which was being built.
