This is one of a series of five church micros leading to a sixth non micro cache in South West Gloucestershire. All of the six are black film canisters but you will need your own pen.
Because of locations and placement of containers I would not describe them as wheelchair friendly and buggies/pushchairs are not recommended. Most involve some steps and kissing gates/stiles.
Apologies for those that collected the numbers for the bonus, this is no longer available. Other CM's in the area are:
Church Micro 731 Tidenham Chase St Michael and All Angels
Church Micro 732 Woolaston St Andrews
Church Micro 733 Hewelsfield St Mary Magdalene
Church Micro 734 Aylburton St Marys
Church Micro 735 Alvington St Andrews
Good luck and please take time to look around these super churches.
If anybody would like to expand this series we would just ask that you contact sadexploration first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names and to avoid duplication.
This is a very unusual church built on Saxon foundations, situated within a circular churchyard which contains a 1300 year old yew tree.
The basic structure is shielded by a long stone roof which extends from the ridge of the Norman nave to within a few feet of the ground.
The squat tower has six bells, one of which is the oldest ringable bell in the Forest of Dean dated to 1450. The entrance porch has a hermits room and has a primitive sundial. The upper part of the tower has been rebuilt.
