Circa ---- Christleton
The co-ordinates at the top of the page are for the location of the first stage of this cache and not the cache site. You can, however, do the stages in any order to suit yourself. Enjoy your walk around Christleton!
Dating a building by inscription is a long tradition, although not many of the actual architects get to have their names adorning the structure.
The trouble with inscriptions, useful though they are, is that you cannot be sure that they are right (many have been added by later owners) or that they date more than a particular feature or phase of development. The datestone has to be treated with the same critical eye as the rest of the building.
This cache is designed to let you stroll around Christleton and hopefully find some dated buildings along the way.
Christleton is situated just over 2 miles from Chester and is split by the A41 and the Shropshire Union Canal.
The suggested parking is close to the village pond or “The Pit” as it is known locally. The final cache is a magnetic micro container situated along a public footpath. To find the co-ordinates of this final location you will need to note down some dates and substitute them into the formula below. Make sure however, that you are at the correct location, have the correct date and enter the information with care.
