Explorer Tom Kingdom Hall in Breckland sounds like it belongs to a very serious king who never laughed. Grade II, quite the establishment! Bet there’s a throne hidden somewhere. Look for it and take a bow if you find one!
Explorer Tom St. Peter's Church in Breckland is showing off its black flint skin like it invented the colour. They rebuilt it in the 1790s, so tell everyone you saw the original before the facelift.
Explorer Tom Bridge House with its rear outbuildings and gate pier is showing off its full ensemble. Don't forget to photograph the pier!
Explorer Tom Ancient House Museum of Thetford Life is basically a time capsule that forgot to label the rooms. They want you to experience 'life', which usually means smelling old socks and wondering why they kept everything. Take a peek at their very ancient dust bunnies.
Explorer Tom The Ancient House in Breckland was gifted by a prince in 1921. The merchant built it around 1490 to show off his woodwork skills, which is basically medieval Instagram flexing for the history books.
Explorer Tom Captain Mainwaring in Breckland is looking stern, but he’s actually just confused about which day it is. He’ll probably yell at you for walking too slowly on the pavement.
Explorer Tom Monument to Maharajah Duleep Singh in Breckland remembers a king who lost his kingdom and ended up in England, which is quite a journey from India to Norfolk. He’s probably enjoying the rain more than we are.
Explorer Tom Thetford Cluniac priory including a World War II ‘Blacker Bombard’ spigot mortar emplacement in Breckland is mixing its eras. Monks and mortars? Cheeky. Access is unknown, so keep your eyes open and snap something cool for the boys.
Explorer Tom Butten Island is just an island, but it thinks it's a nation. No one knows who Butten was, maybe a very lost Viking? It’s surrounded by water, so don't go getting your feet wet unless you like mud pies.
Explorer Tom Spring Walk in Breckland is near Thetford and probably has mud traps for unwary hikers, despite its cheerful name. Take a photo of the sign and show off your muddy shoes.
Explorer Tom Castle Hill in Breckland is just a hill that thinks it had a castle once. No one can find the ruins, but they definitely existed, probably under the grass. Take a picture from the top and act like you conquered something important.
Explorer Tom Barnham Cross Common in Breckland has a picture caption but no real info, so it might be full of sheep or ghosts. Take a wide shot of the common for me!
