St.
Martin
Another contribution to this series, started by sadexploration,
is St. Martin, East Horsley.
In 1036 a gift of land was granted to the Archbishop of
Canterbury by a Danish thane called Thored, and this, together with
a manor already belonging to the Bishop of Exeter, became a
separate parish from West Horsley. The original church with a tower
may have been built about this time, because the tower is the
oldest part of the building, and is believed to have been built
before the Norman Conquest.
During the centuries that followed, several restorations and
additions were made. However, the most fundamental restoration took
place in 1869 when the Horsham slab roof was replaced by clay tiles
and the chancel and part of the south wall was rebuilt. The latest
addition was the extension on the north side of the chancel which
was completed in 1982.
A simple offset cache where the coordinates will take you to a
place where you will get the info you need.
On the 1939-1945 memorial plaque there is a list of names. How
many letters are in the surname of the 4th name (A), the 1st name
(B), the 21st name (C), and the 18th name (D).
The cache can be found at:
N51 15.A(D-A-1)B W000 25.CD(A-B)
The cache has a log book only plus micro certificates but no pen
so please bring one with you.
If anybody would like
to expand this series please do, we would just ask that you could
let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church
numbers and names to avoid duplication
