Church Micro 3565...Milton Ernest
This cache has been placed to bring you to All Saints' church in Milton Ernest.
Unusually for me, this CM is a trad - maybe linked to the fun and games I had with my last one!
Previously known as 'All hallows'. All Saints' Church dates from the 11th century and probably replaced an earlier wooden building.
It was restored during 1858 to 1865 by William Butterfield. The 75 foot tower is 13th century and has 6 bells which are still in use, and a clock dated 1882. It is surrounded by a churchyard which is still open to new burials, contains a war memorial and at the east end has a recently built memorial garden.
The church is usually open to visitors during daylight hours, but if you find it locked and you wish to enter then please contact the vicar or a churchwarden.
