The village of Blaisdon is on the fertile lands at the edge of the river severn flood plain. Before the Norman Invasion it was known as Blethes Dene, meaning 'wooded place'. It once contained many orchards growing the 'Blaisdon Plum', a red plum developed by John Dowding of Tanhouse Farm in the late 19th century and used in jam making. The early houses were timber framed, built with Forest Oak, but a disastrous fire on 7th July 1699 destroyed most of the village. Subsequent rebuilding was in stone or brick, but some timber framed buildings remain. At the stud farm Peter Stubbs the predominate land owner (1890 -1906) bred Blaisdon Conqueror - the worlds largest shire horse, whose bones lie in the British Museum.
Near this cache you will find the church of St Micheal and All Angels. The Church was built in the early 13th century. In 1866 the church was completely rebuilt with the exception of the tower which dates back to the 15th century. There are currently 6 bells in the tower, 5 where repaired and the 6th added when the tower was repaired by Mrs. MacIver in 1912.
This cache is a small film canister. Please be considerate of other people using the church.
