The village of Littlebury is a couple of miles north of Saffron Walden in north Essex. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with Bronze Age tools having been found at Little Chesterford and Iron Age shards to the east of the village.
The parish church of Holy Trinity was built on the site of a Roman camp. The first record of it dates from 1163. It houses a beautiful stone font with decorated oak canopy.
The oldest surviving parts of the church are the nave and south door, dating from around 1200. The construction is of flint rubble with detailing in clunch (a soft chalk). However, the church as we see it now is very much the product of a major restoration project in the 1870s, when the chancel and chancel arch were completely rebuilt; new windows, pulpit, choir stalls and pews installed, and a variety of other details added.
You are looking for a film canister. This can be done as a cache and dash if required. You do not need to climb walls or walk through the graves to get to this.
