YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MICRO NANO CACHE WHICH IS NOT AT THE PUBLISHED COORDINATES.
Tweezers will be useful and a pen/pencil to sign.
To find the coordinates you need to solve the clues
A = the number of clips holding the lightning conductor on the west side of the tower.
First Coordinate is N52 48.0( A x 2 )
In the porch are 2 bell ropes. B = how many the church would have had in the past
There are 6 oblong windows above the West Door. C = the number of oblong panes in 1 window.
Second Coordinate is E000 50.B 0 (C/3 )
In this area of rolling hills and narrow, secretive lanes in the area to the west of Fakenham, Colkirk is the surprise of a large village. As with several others around here, the tower forms a porch on the south side, and is approached along an avenue of trees. This is a small church, the chunky 14th century tower making it appear larger than it is, and it was even smaller before the 19th century when the north aisle was built, opening up the inside and filling it with light.
In common with other nearby churches, there is a Norman font, this one unusually placed on a tub-like pedestal with quatrefoil decoration. Apart from a scattering of medieval glass collected in a nave window, everything else you see here is from after the Reformation. The east window has some good mid-19th century glass in the French cathedral style.
The interior is not tremendously exciting or important, but this is a lovely, well-kept church that is obviously busy, loved and generally open during the day.
