We’d like to thank The Washers for conceiving the idea, initiating the series and inviting other cachers to add to it.
This church is a real picture and one of our favourites. The Church of Holy Trinity is approached along a short grassed lane and once you reach the churchyard you see the pretty little building in all its splendour.
The original church was built in the late 11th Century, as shown by the herring-bone masonry, but was extensively restored after a fire in 1912. In the grounds of the church there is a large ancient Yew tree, which along with others in Shropshire, help make it the county with the most ancient Yews in Britain.
At the time of placing the cache the adjacent field had loads of sheep and lambs grazing in it. There are also some good views to be had from the churchyard looking across the Shropshire countryside.
The cache is a camo’d 450ml Lock ‘n’ Lock type container. Watch out for nettles when retrieving the cache and please ensure it is well hidden when you replace it.
Parking for 1/2 cars is possible near the gates at the beginning of the grassed approach to the church.
