Bowthorpe
St Margaret's Church - churchyard. Ornate headstone and monument in the churchyard of > 677357. St Margaret's church has a round tower dating from the 12th century, with an octagonal top that was added later. Sadly, the church is kept locked. Although nowadays considered to be a suburb of Norwich, the residents of Old Catton prefer to still regard it as a village. Old Catton covers an area of 211 hectares and, as evidenced by archaeological finds, its history dates back to the Stone Age; documented history begins in 1086 with the Domesday Book. In more recent times the author Anna Sewell wrote her book "Black Beauty" while living at Old Catton.
