I “stumbled” over my first Round Tower Church by chance in 1999 when boating on the Norfolk Broads and taking a walk from Loddon Staithe. I had never seen a church like this one before, and was absolutely stunned by the unusual looks; to me, it appeared a bit like a castle. It was St Margarets of Hales, still the favourite of all the 228 Round Tower Churches we have visited since. I have no architectual training whatsoever, and also no religious connotation at all. But these – mostly – medieval buildings have a special athmosphere when you enter them. I wanted to visit as many of them as possible, and as digital photography meant nearly unlimited numbers of photos could be taken, I decided to build a website about these beautiful buildings, so that other people could enjoy their beauty as well.
