Geocache Description:


Rickman's Tomb


The tomb of Thomas Rickman
This can be done as a cache and dash as you can park within 75 metres of GZ.

About the location
 The site was originally the site of St. George's Church (now demolished) consecrated in 1822, the first in Birmingham of a wave of government funded churches, known as commisioners churches. Most importantly this was one of the first real attempts in England at reviving gothic architecture. The churchyard was used for burials as soon as the church opened. It was closed in 1873 and laid out as a garden in 1912. The churchyard gates and Thomas Rickman's (the architect) tomb still stand and are Grade 2 listed. Rickman was laid to rest here in the grounds of what his friends believed to be his best work. His monument is a pointed canopied arch designed by his architectural partner RC Hussey in 1845, in sandstone, which has worn badly. (info from billdargue.jimdo.com)

You are looking for a small plastic box containing a log and a few trinkets.

We recommend parking on Great Hampton Row for the closest access.

Congratulations to Lord Barrington for being first to find!
