Geocache Description:

A short multicache using information from gravestones which can be found within the churchyard. Terrain is fairly flat but with some slight undulations and rabbit holes which may make use of a wheelchair difficult.

St Peter and St Paul sits opposite the former pub in as wide a graveyard as you can imagine. The church rises above the flat expanse, looking quite unlike anything else in the county. The more you look at it, the stranger it appears.
A 19th century creation, decked out in flint and trimmed withSuffolk features, the church was, like most in Suffolk, pretty near derelict by the mid-19th century. It was all that survived of a Cluniac Priory, a cell to the mother Priory at Thetford over the border, but must still have been fairly substantial, even after falling under the patronage of Henham Hall. The Hall, now gone, sat in its park in the hamlet of Henham a bit to the south, on the other side of the A12; but Henham never had a church, and so it was that the Earls of Stradbroke, owners of the Hall, set about creating a monument to themselves here - and a mighty fine one it is too.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
