This ancient and beautiful building goes back to the time of the Normans. Some old records say that it was built on the site of an earlier Saxon church.
It is much as the Normans left it except for the two aisles which were added during the 19th century. It is a pretty and unusual little church in a country setting and surrounded by a churchyard containing many old and historic graves.
Gillingham has three churches, St Mary's, All Saint's and Our Lady of Perpetual Succour. They all sit in a row cut off from the village by the A146, the busy Beccles to Norwich Road.
This multi cache uses information found within the churchyard to create the coordinates for the final cache.
The final cache can be found at:
