A small cache located close a stile, a public footpath and right of
way to church of All Saints. A travel bug attached to a yellow
badge that announces the "Decade of Action for Road Safety
2011-2020". The aim is for this travel bug to circumnavigate the
world to advertise this decade of
action. 2019. There is also a FTF badge and a yellow smiley. Both
items can
be taken and replaced.
THE LANDOWNER IS AWARE OF THE CACHE
FENTON is a parish and small village, near the river Witham and
the
Nottinghamshire border, 2 miles north-east from Claypole station
on
the main line of the Great Northern railway, and 6 miles
east-by
east from Newark, in the South Kesteven division of the
county,
parts of Kesteven, wapentake of Loveden, Spittlegate petty
sessional division, Newark union and county court district,
rural
deanery of Loveden and archdeaconry and dioceses of Lincoln.
The
church of All Saints is a building of stone, chiefly in the
Decorated and Perpendicular styles, with some Norman remains,
and
consists of chancel and chantry chapel on the north, nave,
aisles,
south porch an embattled western tower, with crocketed spire
and
pinnacles and containing 3 bells, two of which bear the date
1569
and 1627: the north aisle of two bays is Norman, and a fragment
of
Norman work remains beneath the pulpit, which is 15th century
work:
the south aisle arcade is Decorated work of the late 13th
century,,
but the windows of this aisle are Perpendicular, and to this
period
belong also the tower and spire: the chancel was rebuilt in
an
inferior style in 1830: in the chantry adjoining is an aumbry,
and
screen work of debased character partly incloses both: some
old
bench ends remain, and there is a plain octangular font on a
shafted pedestal: in 1875 the church was thoroughly restored at
a
cost of £800, entirely defrayed by the late Richard Lucas esq.
When
the stalls and stall ends were renewed and the ends copied in
a
fac-simile of the originals: there are 150 sittings. Please
take
time to view this ancient church which is recorded in the
Doomsday
Book.
