Geocache Description:


You are looking for a mini tube cache.



Wetheringsett is a joint parish with nearby Brockford. The church is set on the High Street, but screened from it by trees and a wide ditch. You reach the graveyard across a very pleasing wooden bridge, and there before you is pretty much a perfect example of a late-Medieval East Anglian church. Although there is evidence of an earlier building, All Saints was almost entirely rebuilt during the second half of the 15th Century - hence the full confidence of the tower and the aisles, and a clerestory which is almost all glass.

A lion and a crown greet you at the entrance to the south porch, and you step through the little wicket gate into the clear light of a wide, beautiful Perpendicular building. There was obviously a busy Victorian restoration here, but the crispness of the late-Medieval rebuilding is also a contributory factor. The long lines of arcades draw the eye to the proportionate chancel arch and the east window, also in proportion, beyond. The effect is technically brilliant and the lack of coloured glass in the nave enhances the sense of space and openness.

This listing contains excerpts from Simon Knott's excellent website www.suffolkchurches.co.uk , with grateful thanks. If anyone would like to expand this Church Micro numbered series please do by contacting sadexploration via www.geocaching.com so that he can keep track of the church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
