Geocache Description:


Church Micro 984.…Stedham

The Church of St James, Stedham is large, mainly Victorian Gothic and highly symmetrical. The plain and solid Church tower is older though - it was built in 1673 and a few parts of Stedham's original Saxon Chuch still exist underneath the large building you can see today, it is mentioned in Domesday Book.
St James has an attractive Churchyard with a sunken road passing through it. An interesting feature of the Churchyard is the wall to the adjoining Stedham Hall, with a grand door cut into it - an old fashioned version of the private members' entrance. The Churchyard also contains a yew tree which is thought to be over 2000 years old.

Parking can be found at N 50° 59.765 W 000° 46.293 or at the Collins club (N 50° 59.636 W 000° 46.354), but this will require a short walk to the church.

When you reach the Church, head into the Churchyard. There are 4 clues to find in order to crack the code for the final cache location.
