An urban cache in West Bridgford. Stealth and caution required!
St Giles is the parish church of West Bridgford - built from about 1300 until the 19th century.
The church was described in 1844 as "a fine ancient edifice with tower and pinnacles which appears to great advantage peeping above the trees which surround it."
St. Giles, to whom the parish church was dedicated, was in the olden time a favourite in Notts, as a saint whose name their churches should bear, for there are ten churches in the county dedicated to him, and no wonder, for he was not only of royal descent, but from the cradle he was devoted to good works. He was an Athenian. He gave away the entire fortune that he had received, and later on he retired to a desert, where he sustained himself by herbs, and the milk of a hind that came to his cave of her own accord. He was regarded as the special patron of lepers, beggars, and cripples, and therefore of hospitals. Hence the name suggests to thoughtful minds the need for spiritual healing, true riches, and Divine strength.
The cache is not hidden in the church.
NB - satellite reception is a little variable round here...
