St Margaret's Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs or logged into geocaching.com for some time I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

This is a micro, please bring your own pen/pencil. The terrain isn't difficult but it may not be too suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. If you start from the original waypoint you will be rewarded with lovely views of Durham Cathedral and be able to follow the public footpath down to the riverbanks.

The ‘New Churchyard’: the large area of sloping ground between Grape Lane and Margery Lane (and alongside St Margaret’s allotments) was consecrated in the latter half of the nineteenth century, and was in use for burials for much of the twentieth.

In the 1930s, many of the gravestones in the Old Churchyard were moved to the edge to create an open space for public benefit (under the terms of the Open Spaces Act 1906). The gravestones in the New Churchyard remain in situ (it should be noted that many graves historically would have been, and remain, unmarked).
