Geocache Description:

This should be a quick multi located at the church of St Peter & St Paul with the cache a short walk away.



I was first made aware of the significance of these round tower churches through geocaching these churches are found mainly in England, mostly in East Anglia, of about 185 surviving examples in the country, 124 are in Norfolk, 38 in Suffolk, 6 in Essex, 3 in Sussex and 2 each in Cambridgeshire and Berkshire.
Round tower churches are found in areas lacking normal building stone, and are therefore built of flint. Corners are difficult to construct in flint, hence the thick, round walls of the towers. The one found here in Burgh castle is a medieval parish church with a Late Saxon round tower. Some of the nave walls may also date back to the Late Saxon period, and the majority of the church building dates from the 13th and 15th centuries. The building contains many reused Roman tiles, probably taken from the ruins of the nearby Roman fort.

To find the cache go to the listed coordinates and take a look at the information board, all of the require information can be found here to fill in the blanks to obtain the cache coordinates.
