Geocache Description:

The Kebleland cash starts with a Nano placed in All Saints' Church, Hursley grounds (not inside).

The cash is named after John Keble (25 April 1792 – 29 March 1866) was an English churchman and poet, one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement, and gave his name to Keble College, Oxford.

In 1835 he was appointed Vicar of Hursley, Hampshire, where he settled down to family life and remained for the rest of his life as a parish priest at All Saints Church.

What Shakespeare has done for Stratford-on-Avon - John Keble has done for Hursley. But on going to Hursley one also finds, linked to the same locality fascinating associations of historic characters, such as " Tumbledown Dick " Cromwell, Thomas Sternhold, Sir Isaac Newton.

Hursley is a typical English village, and the records of the centuries of their history are of the kind that go to make the history of England.

John Keble died in Bournemouth at the Hermitage Hotel, after visiting the area to try and recover from a long term illness as he believed the sea air had therapeutic qualities.

While you're searching for the nano cache you will see close by John Keble’s and his wife’s graves.

The house that Keble used to live in can be found just behind the church. The local school is also named after Keble.

You can find a book called "All Saints' Church, Hursley - History and Guide" by Stan.C.Rawdon, unfortunately Stan died last year.

You can park close to the church, follow the road that leads up the side of the Parish Hall and you will see parking at the rear entrance to the church. You can remain parked here for the final hunt also.

NOTE When looking for the final cache approach from the park gate just in front of the village hall.

You can see more about Hursley at the village website http://www.hursleyvillage.info

NOTE : Please carefully put the NANO back in the same place.
