Geocache Description:


Church Micro 8302...Threxton

 

Threxton All Saints is a round-tower church at Threxton Hill situated east of the village of Little Cressingham and west of the town of Watton in the English county of Norfolk.The church is medieval with a late 13th-century tower as well as a 14th-century octagonal font and remnants of medieval stained glass in at least one window.The building is a Grade I listed building and retains some wall decorations which survived the reformation after being partitioned as part of a mausoleum and uncovered during the late 20th century.

The round tower is Norman including probably the bell chamber. North arcade mid-13the century rebuilt chancel of c.1300 and the rest of the church dates to around 1300. The church was heavily restored in 1865-1868. Apsidal chancel found in 1846 when the chancel was shortened. There was a medieval cross base in the churchyard. Finds from the churchyard include a 'Roman gold cross' and a pair of Late Saxon shears. In 2010 trial trenching revealed a sequence of deposits relating to the 12th century west tower and building material from a possible Roman structure.

You are looking for a small disguised container. There is parking at the church but please be aware that this is also the entrance to a farm so please don't block the drive.
