Geocache Description:

FTF Northernoldies - Well Done !

You are looking for a film canister.




All Saints is a thoroughly Victorianised church, and the restoration was by diocesan architect Richard Phipson - that is to say, it was a quiet, middlebrow one which generally preserved the rustic nature of this little country church.

There is no coloured glass, and this is a peaceful place with clear light falling across simple furnishings. The font appears to be a medieval survival, although all of its faces have been smoothed clean, but the great medieval survival of the church is the rood loft stairway, which rises up inside a window embrasure on the north side.

The original WW1 Roll of Honour survives for Stoke Ash, filled in by the Rector as the War progressed. Remarkably, of the 39 Stoke Ash boys who went away to the Great War, only one failed to return.

This listing contains excerpts from Simon Knott's excellent website www.suffolkchurches.co.uk , with grateful thanks. If anyone would like to expand this Church Micro numbered series please do by contacting sadexploration via www.geocaching.com so that he can keep track of the church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
