Geocache Description:


A bit about the Church

This small church has a brick and flint west tower. It has Norman origins but has undergone several later alterations including addition of battlements to the tower in 1536 and the addition of gabling to the south porch in the 17th century. The exterior of the church features several handsome Perpendicular windows. Inside, the side walls of the chancel consist of two large blank pointed arches, one enclosing a window, the other a window and door to the former chapel of St John the Baptist. The octagonal font is covered with tracery and dates to the 14th century. However, the most interesting feature is the unusual lectern formed from a wooden angel taken from the hammerbeam roof. There are also a number of 17th and 18th century memorials including one to various members of the Bacon family that was brought here from St Giles-in-the-Fields, London.
