Remaining Ruins
- Magdalene's Chapel (Bucks) 


'Remaining ruins' is a set of caches which will be added to over time as new locations are unearthed. Scattered across the country, huge amounts of ruins lie tucked away, off the beaten track where nobody goes. Many of these amazing places already have their own caches, but the remainder from Bucks & the surrounding areas which we come across, will be placed in this series. All these locations were once much loved places, which people would regularly visit. This series will aim to give you the chance to visit these locations once again, after all, they were never built to sit in isolation & decay. Many sites of this nature are very much derelict and weathered so please take care to look after them & yourselves when visiting. Also make sure to take a second to read any information on site. You may be suprised to see just what you pass by everyday, without paying it a care in the world!



The first cache in this series, an easy starter, will take you to the remains of St.Mary Magdalene’s chapel which can be found close to Champneys (The location of a recent England Football team stay) & Wiggington, Hertfordshire. It is easily accessible from the A41, Birmingham to London Road. This place is so rarely spoken of that there is no information regarding it, anywhere on the internet, I stumbled across it whilst browsing maps which amazes me as it is such a peacefull & historical gem. The chapel itself is hidden away down a footpath/cycle route which must be used only a couple of times a month by the looks of things. It is a fenced area which encloses the 4 overgrown corners of the ruin & an information post. It seems that many private chapels were built in times gone by; this is one of many more we hope to find. Any photos of yourselves at this location are more than welcome; enjoy your visit, Dan & Pid...

Please replace the cache as you found it, if not - better!
No piles of sticks please.

Oss!

Domo arigato.
