Background
History
In the Domesday Book, Booton is listed as a settlement of seven households in the hundred of Erpingham. In 1086, the village was part of the estates of Tihel of Hellean. A postmill was constructed in the village in 1848. It stood until it was largely dismantled in 1900. In 1940, a polygonal bunker was built as part of the defences against a possible invasion of Britain.
