Geocache Description:

Aylmerton Cross

I

Aylmerton cross

One mile south of the village of Aylmerton, on Church Road, at a small junction of the Lower Gresham to Metton lane, is an ancient stone cross which had been restored in the 19th. century, but is believed to be medieval. It is approximately 4m high, has a square plinth with niche in south face blocked with brick. Chamfered base with scalloped carving and weathered crenellated top. Aylmerton wayside cross is on the parish boundary with Gresham, and was said to be a guide to Walsingham. Three roads meet here, and a rough track heading westwards is said to have been part of the pilgrims' way heading to the holy shrines to be found there.

There is a commonly held belief amongst the locals that the cross marks the route of a tunnel leading from the nearby Felbrigg Hall, which is a few miles east of the cross!

You are looking for a black container slightly smaller than a film can, byop.To ensure it stays dry inside tighten the lid firmly.
