On your hunt you for this cache you might like to visit the
beautiful local church and attractive assortment of houses:
St Mary Magdalene’s Church
The earliest part of St Mary Magdalene’s Church is the
nave, built about 1140 and both the porch and bell tower date from
1420. In the 1860’s Alfred Bell bought lands, built new
houses, built the school and extended the church. The Lady Chapel
was added in 1885.
The village of South Marston was not mentioned in the Doomsday
Book, even though it was probably of some importance by 1066,
perhaps because the land was owned directly by the king.
South Marston’s Famous Resident Alfred Williams
(1877-1930) the Hammerman Poet born, lived and died in South
Marston. A short walk from the cache will take you past Rose
Cottage and Cambria Cottage where Alfred lived. Alfred Williams Heritage

and white sheets. This is Gordon’s Cottage, which had a
thatched roof that caught fire in 2010 and is lovingly being
completely restored to its former glory.
