Geocache Description:

The Coordinates are for the Church in Osmaston. Not ALL ANSWERS ARE FOUND IT THE VILLAGE

The Village of Osmaston
Osmaston in Derbyshire, is known as an estate village. Most of the buildings seen today were built around 1850 when the village was redeveloped to serve Osmaston Manor. Osmaston Manor was being constructed at that time, as a home for the wealthy industrialist Francis Wright, whose family owned the Butterley Ironworks near Ripley.

A memorial to Francis Wright stands in the market place at Ashbourne. A settlement has been in the area for about 1000 years.

Osmaston takes the appearance of a picturesque model village, with its brick built thatched cottages, village hall, primary school, duckpond, church, and of course pub.
