Geocache Description:

This cache is placed close to, but not inside the church grounds. the area is accessible to all and suitable for buggy/wheelchair access. Plenty of parking available on the High Street and Old High Road.

The village takes its name from a ford of what is referred to locally as the River Yox, which runs nearby. The name of the village means a ford where oxen can pass – as removing the ‘Y’ from the beginning of the name shows. Yoxford is surrounded on all sides by beautiful parklands - towards Peasenhall one can find Sibton Park, with a large fishing lake. In the village is Grove Park, and Rookery Park on the Leiston Road. Also surrounding Yoxford are extensively farmed areas (particularly fruit farms). This coupled with the parklands earns Yoxford the much-deserved title of ‘The Garden of Suffolk’.

The church is Medieval; north aisle added 1837; considerably restored 1868 and 1920.

The Church is a grand sight, with its unusual spire featuring a cock to mark its highest point, and its 18th and 19th Century headstones. Visitors will discover a Victorian-styled interior, along with one of the largest collections of brasses and hatchments in Suffolk.

You are looking for a nano sized cache which is situated outside the church boundary. Due to the fact that the church is right in the village centre, there are likely to be plenty of muggles about!!

“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.
There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list”
