As you approach the church, your first glimpse of it will be of the fine pre-Tudor red brick tower. This was built over a period of seven years between 1413 and 1420 and houses a ring of eight bells given by the Baron Bell Trust in 1930. The original church also dated from 1413 but fell into such a state of disrepair that it was demolished in 1865.The foundation stone for the present church was laid on the 25th May 1866 and the church was rebuilt in that year to the designs of Sir Arthur Bloomfield.The majority of this work was paid for by the rector, Rev Richard Joyne. The churchyard is entered by a lych gate built in the early 1930's. The timber is solid Suffolk oak from Redgrove Park, Suffolk. The tiles, all 1100 of them , came from a house in Colchester, now demolished, and the 500 bricks used in its construction were hand made at Marks Tey, near Colchester so that they would match those in the tower. The church is entered through the South Porch, which was paid for as a gift by Mr Charles Hicks, who lived at Great Holland Hall next to the Church.
To find the cache you will not need to enter the church grounds. All answers are available from the front gate.
