Geocache Description:

The cache container is micro-sized, but due to the construction has only a nano-sized logbook, and no room for any writing instrument so please bring your own!

Hopefully you won't need the hint (this isn't meant to be a difficult cache), so apologies if you do resort to it and find it unhelpful. I can only assure you that it does have some relevance to the hiding place!

I've wanted to place a cache here for sometime. It's a lovely church in a lovely village, and deserving of more visitors. This cache is the perfect place to start the Three Churches Walk, which is a popular and recommended stroll between the villages of Gazeley, Dalham and Moulton, and a map is situated just outside the church walls with the route of this walk marked.

The ancient village of Gazeley lies about five miles south-east of Newmarket, nine miles west of Bury St Edmunds, and close to the Cambridgeshire border. The parish church of All Saints lies at the heart of the village, and is full of interesting historical features. One such feature is the anchoress cell, close to which the cache is hidden.

The church is not locked, so please look around - the wardens encourage visitors! All Saints Church is a Grade I listed building dating back to the 14th century, and since 2004 there has been a new sense of purpose and determination to repair and restore the church. The church is in phase two of a three-phase restoration, so any donations would be greatly appreciated. Inside the church, you will find (as well as that which you would usually expect), a local produce stall, a book, video and jigsaw exchange, and facilities to make yourself tea, coffee and squash.
