Geocache Description:

A lovely peaceful spot with an interesting church. I don't think I've ever seen a church looking like this before.



In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Great Oakley like this:
OAKLEY (Great), a village and a parish in Tendring district, Essex. The village stands 2½ mile W of Ramseycreck, 4 S by E of Wrabness r. station, and 5¾ S W of Harwich; and has a post-office under Harwich, and a fair on 25 April. The parish comprises 3,049 acres. Real property, £5, 953. Pop. in 1851, 1, 177; in 1861, 1,038. Houses, 229. The property is subdivided. The manor, with Great Oakley Hall belongs to G. Bull, Esq. Howbridge Hall is the seat of F. Stanford, Esq.; the Lodge, of J. Salmon, Esq.; and Brooklands, of Mrs. Yates.
The living is a rectory in the diocese of Rochester. Value, £875.* Patron, St. John's College, Cambridge. The church is ancient; and consists of nave and chancel, with bell-chamber. There are chapels for Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists, a national school, and two alms-houses.
