Geocache Description:

St Mary Magdalene

Photobucket

The Churchyard contains some early 17th century headstones and an ancient yew tree. Unusually, St Mary’s has two porches. Enter by the north porch and in the stonework over the 14th century doorway are the heads of a King and Queen and a scene depicting the Annunciation. A spiral staircase in the choir vestry leads up the bell tower to the ringing chamber. The only remaining part of the Norman structure is the nave which has a narrow Norman window, and further along is a squat Tudor window. In the chancel is a blocked in door and in the other wall a piscina, now used as an Aumbry.

On the stonework of the doorway on the 16th century south porch are medieval scratch dials (primitive sundials)

The cache has a log book but no pen so please bring one with you.

If any body would like to expand to this series please do, could you please let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.


Please ensure the cache is replaced EXACTLY where it was found and not in any other likely looking locations as they are likely to become waterlogged !!!

PLEASE REPLACE THE LOGBOOK IN THE ZIPLOCK BAG AS THIS KEEPS IT DRY !!
