Geocache Description:

The cache is a camouflaged micro placed just outside the churchyard of All Saints and accessing it does not require entering the churchyard. It is attached to its host but please be careful not to drop it in the foliage below.


All Saints church in the village of Milton is situated down a quiet cul-de-sac lane which leads to the East Anglian Children's Hospice (EACH). It is very close to Milton Hall, a brick mansion built in 1772, and now used as various offices. The church has a 13th century tower and 14th century arcades, but it seems to have had a lot of restoration and remodelling in the 17th-19th centuries.

Interesting internal features include 17th century altar rails and choir stalls with the figures of a bishop, a man and lion's heads on the armrests, all of which are said to have come from King's College, Cambridge. Also Jacobean panels in the vestry door, a fine 16th century brass set in a floorstone showing Sir William Coke in his judge's robe and mantle, his wife in a pretty flowered headdress, and two sons and three daughters. And look out for pieces of Medieval glass including Flemish roundels of St Margaret and St Catherine.
