Geocache Description:

The starting coordinates will take you to the little hamlet of Trevalga and the church of St Petroc (patron saint of homeless people).

The final location is within one and a half miles. .
.
This cache is designed to be part of a trail through the Rocky Valley to Boscastle, then along the coast path to near the start. See this bookmark list

Small Lock'n'Lock container suitable for small items & trackables .

This cache was formerly known as Three Churches Vista
Situated halfway between Boscastle and Tintagel and hidden away behind the hamlet, which is a Manor and was held by the King in 1086 is now held in trust. Gerald Curgenven left it in trust so that the Village and Parish would remain unspoilt for future generations. The church sits nicely against the rising hills on one side and thrusts its self forward towards majestic views across to the sea and beyond.

  • Walk down the steps to the porch and on the right there is a wheel headed Wayside Cross (which could date to as early as the 8th century), opposite there is a chest tomb of Thomas and Elizabeth Rickard - note how Elizabeth's age is carved.
            Twice the age = D.
            Last two digits of the year = A & C

  • On the opposite side is the headstone for Gerald Curgenven, and just behind that is the chest tomb of Jane Tink
            Last two digits of the year = F & G

  •  In the porchway (which used to contain the remains of the old chancel screen - now on display in the Boscastle visitors centre) there is a list of the past Rectors of Trevalga. Take the year for Robert Bardolph.
            3 x the first two = I.
            The 2nd digit from the sum of the second two of the year = B = H

If any body would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
