Church Micro 1921...Little Eversden Traditional Cache

St Helen’s is at the end of Church Lane deep in Little Eversden. Its tower can be seen from the A603 but hardly from within the Eversdens. The church is mainly 14th century and was restored in 1891-92 with an official reopening by the Bishop of Ely on 23rd June 1892. There were two reopening services. There used to be a beautiful altar frontal depicting wild flowers. This was given by Diana Croft and worked by Richard Croft in memory of the Reverend Harold Croft who served in these parishes between 1983 and 1984 after his retirement from full time ministry. The frontal was based on a watercolour design by Mrs Nellie Riley who lived in Little Eversden. The watercolour is on display in the chancel of St Mary’s Church, Great Eversden. Sadly the altar frontal was stolen during the Remembrance Day service in Great Eversden in 1998 and never seen again. The replacement dedicated in 2001 is brought to the church only on special occasions.

This is a traditional cache and IS at the published coordinates.

The cache is a 35mm film canister.
