This is our first Geocaching hide; this can be done as a cache and dash IF you can find it easily.
The area is very rural and susceptible to flooding so maybe best done in dry periods if you don't have a four wheel drive and need to park in the church car park (Waypoint). The cache is also locatable from the entrance nearest to the pub.
The container is a small screw top container and is hidden outside the church grounds.The container contains a pencil, sharpener and logbook.
CONGRATULATIONS TO RUSTYHAMMER FTF.
Mendham All saints
The below is taken from Wikipedia:
Mendham is a village and civil parish in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England. Located on the east bank of the River Waveney around a mile east of Harleston, in 2005 its population was 440.[1] The parish includes the hamlets of Withersdale Street. The Mendham Marshes are also within the parish boundaries.
Until the 19th century, around 25% of the parish fell in Norfolk and 75% in Suffolk.[2]
Mendham's most famous son, born to a local miller, went on to become Sir Alfred James Munnings KCVO, PRA (8 October 1878 – 17 July 1959), known as one of England's finest painters of horses, and as an outspoken enemy of Modernism. An extract of one of his paintings, featuring a local lady, Charlotte Gray leading a white pony along the banks of the River Waveney, has been incorporated into the Mendham village sign. Charlotte Gray is buried in Mendham church.
If anybody would like to expand this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.coam so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list.
