A cllck-box hidden in a semi-secluded park.
The cache is a 10 x 8cm clip-box and is to be found on the perimeter of a public park. It's in a semi-secluded garden.
The main park has a 19th Century House which was the home of various families.
In 1770, Anna Edwyn married Andrew Burnaby. Anna was the heiress to Baggrave Hall at Hungarton in Leicestershire and of other properties including Evington.
It was their third son, Colonel John Burnaby who built Evington House in 1836 as a retirement home for himself, his wife and their unmarried daughters.
Colonel Burnaby died in 1852 was buried in the churchyard of St Denys, Evington.
The land on which Evington House stands was given to Hugh de Grentesmesnil after the Norman Conquest who used it as a deer park. The land was then owned or leased by various royal privies and noblemen including John of Gaunt, Simon de Montfort and the Dukes of Devonshire.
There is a car park very near to the cache and public buses (no 22) regularly pass very nearby. The village centre is about 100 yards from the cache and the area includes a public house, shops and a library. The cache is near to residential property so stealth and respect are required.
When first hidden the cache contained a "Las Vegas" dollar coin. These coins are legal tender in Las Vegas only. Anyone is welcome to take the dollar and use it in Vegas. However, if the taker wins a million dollars or so, it would be appreciated if a donation was made to yours truly, SaintSteven..... or to geocaching.com.
The cache also contains a photo of our Teddy Bears, a logbook and a pencil.
