Geocache Description:

This beautiful little round towered church can be found at the top of the village, It’s tall thin west tower is 11th century and along with the battlements the bell openings are triangular-headed and look ancient. The church was previously known as St Andrews.




Most of Norfolk's churches are made from flint and this may explain the high number of round towers - as these do not require stone quoins. Norfolk's only other workable stone is carrstone which is sometimes used as a building material in north and north-west Norfolk. Bessingham church tower, is partly composed of carrstone - or gingerbread stone as it is known locally.

The nave and chancel are both under the same roof and have a row of 2 light square headed windows, The church had a big restoration in the 1869.



Parking is restricted although there is just enough room for a couple of cars outside the church. The cache is hidden outside the church grounds. You are looking for a camouflaged contained a little larger than a film canister.  You will need to bring your own pen.
