Geocache Description:

This cache is part of an extension to Sadexploration’s far–reaching Church Micro series.

Church Micro 804 – St. Peter's Church, Boughton Monchelsea.

This cache is currently a Bison, I hope to change it back to something bigger, but for now anything bigger keeps going walk about!

The coordinates take you to a topograph presented to the church to commemorate 25 years of marriage.

The cache is not located within the church grounds, it is located at
Northing 51 (Tunbridge Wells).(Ashford/5)(Tenterden/3)(Headcorn+2)
Easting 000 (Eastbourne).(Canterbury-10)(Staplehurst+1)

The numbers you are looking for are miles not Kilometres. Please ensure that you hide the cache back correctly, with plenty of coverage.

The village church in Boughton Monchelsea is dedicated to St. Peter and lies just over the brow of the Quarry Hills over looking the Weald.

The church was built around 1100 and consisted of a nave tower and sanctuary. In the late 14th century substantial rebuilding took place enlarging the sanctuary, and a chapel and isle were added on the northern side. The tower and north isle were partially rebuilt in 1530-40. There was a disastrous fire in 1832 when the nave was destroyed. The church was rebuilt in 1834 with further extensive rebuilding and enlargement in 1874. During the civil war the village favoured the cavaliers and was occupied by the roundheads who destroyed most of the church windows.

The Lychgate to the church was constructed, without nails, in 1470 and is believed to be the second oldest in the country. It leads to the church and cemetery, which over looks the deer park and the Weald, with probably the most stunning view in Kent if not England.


If anybody would like to expand this series please do, I would just ask that you let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
