This is one of a series of four caches placed near to the parish churches of Droitwich. The caches can either be done separately or as pleasant walk around Droitwich to combine all four. There is ample parking in the town centre or limited parking close to each of the cache sites
Droitwich Spa is a Worcestershire town of about 25,000 people. The parish embraces virtually the whole of the town, and the four Anglican churches, originally separate parishes, now form one single team that relates to the town as a whole. Droitwich Spa is about 5 miles north of Worcester, and 20 miles south of Birmingham.
A Brief History
There was a Roman settlement in Droitwich by around 200 AD, mainly on the slopes of Dodderhill where St Augustine's Church now stands. The main basis for this settlement was salt-mining which has supported the local economy from Roman times through until the mid twentieth century. It is also the most frequently mentioned town in the Doomsday Book
The town today
Many old buildings are visible around the town centre among which are three medieval, and one Victorian, buildings - the Church of England churches
St Nicholas' Church
The present day church is a Victorian building, and often one of the first that a visitor to Droitwich sees, since it is opposite the main entrance to the railway station. The building has been extensively re-ordered in recent decades, and with chairs instead of pews, provides a flexible space, so as a result it has the widest range of uses. The church is surrounded by a small but well-kept churchyard, which in recent years won a best-kept churchyard competition.
