Geocache Description:

You are looking here for a camo tube which will take Micro Geocoins.


There is plenty of parking space at this cache location


St. Peter's is a church of great interest, despite its Victorian makeover. But first, you will have to find it. There are fleeting glimpses on the road from Creeting St. Mary to Stowmarket; but, closer, especially in summer, the church is completely hidden by the trees that surround it. It lies at the end of a track, about a third of a mile from the road; this is signposted, but the sign is also sometimes obscured by trees. It is a secret, hidden place.


The tower is a pretty, Victorianised one from the 15th century. It bears obvious signs of substantial recent repairs, as does the porch below. The most striking thing about the outside of the church is the series of knapped flint crosses on several of the buttresses. Each is about 90cm high, and there are five of them. However, seven other buttresses show signs of repair where the cross would have been, making twelve in all. Almost certainly, these were external consecration crosses, a rare survival.
