All Saints Church is the Parish church for the large village of
Wing in Buckinghamshire (just!)
In the "Collin's Pocket Guide to English Parish Churches" John
Betjeman described this church as
"The Finest Saxon Church In England"
This from the man who wrote
"Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough"
It may be justified to say that this has a claim to be the
oldest religious site in the country still used. The area has over
1300 years of history.
The church itself was built around the 10th Century with the
majority of the improvements made around 1519. Before this, it was
part of the monastery which was associated with the local manor of
the "King of Wessex".
As you approach the church, you will see the Lychgate. This was
built in memoriam for one of the vicars, Francis Henry Tatham and
his wife Bertha in 1920. Pass through the gate into the graveyard
(where people are no longer allowed to be buried). Follow the path
out through the gate and follow the footpath across the field!
The cache is a SMALL PLASTIC TUB. It is filled with small items
and will hold TBs and Coins. Please ensure it goes back properly
after being found
