Geocache Description:


Church of England Diocese of Chelmsford

All Saints was built in 1846. All Saints is small, unlike the older, grander parish churches in the area. It consists of just a nave and chancel. For many years, South Fambridge was a separate parish with its own parish church, parish priest and parish council. It has been part of the Ashingdon parish since the 1940s.

Fambridge is mentioned in the doomsday book and the original village incorporated both North and South Fambridge; the River Crouch being much shallower, which meant that a low-tide ‘ford’ was possible. Early maps of 1603 and 1745 show “S.Fambrige” and its crossing formed an important part of a north-south road link from “Milton” near Southend-on-sea and “Colchester”, possibly on a route of a Roman road.

You do not need to enter the churchyard to find this cache. You are looking for a magnetic 35mm Cannister, with a log and a pencil.

Limited off road parking is avaiable opposite the cache site.

If anybody 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
