Geocache Description:


This is one of a series of five church micros leading to a sixth non micro cache in South West Gloucestershire. All of the five are black film canisters but you will need your own pen.
Because of locations and placement of containers I would not describe them as wheelchair friendly and buggies/pushchairs are not recommended. Most involve some steps and kissing gates/stiles.
Apologies for those that collected the numbers for the bonus, this is no longer available. Other CM's in the area are:

Church Micro 731 Tidenham Chase St Michael and All Angels
Church Micro 732 Woolaston St Andrews
Church Micro 733 Hewelsfield St Mary Magdalene
Church Micro 734 Aylburton St Marys
Church Micro 735 Alvington St Andrews

Good luck and please take time to look around these super churches.
If anybody would like to expand this series we would just ask that you contact sadexploration first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names and to avoid duplication.

The earliest record of St. Andrew's church at Woolaston is in 1131. However, the old circular churchyard and the nearby Roman Road which ran just to the north-west of the church suggest a much earlier holy site. The Tower was originally a low one with a short wooden steeple, but following the granting of a faculty in 1774, it was completely rebuilt.
