Church Micro 2466...Bromham
This cache has been placed to bring you to the Parish Church of St Owen, Bromham.
The cache is a pot of similar length but lesser diameter than a 35mm film pot. It only contains a log - you are a geocacher, you should have a writing implement!
Please note that the final cache is located outside the churchyard and is NOT accessible from inside the churchyard. The clues could be found (if you really wanted to) without entering the churchyard.
The church of St. Owen, situated in Bromham Park, is built in the Gothic style of the 13th century, and consists of chancel with vestry on the north, nave, north aisle, north and south porches and a lofty embattled tower containing 6 fine-toned bells, bearing the motto of the Dyve family who were the donors both of the bells and the communion plate. In the Dynevor chapel is an elaborate memorial window to the late Lord Dynevor. Over the south porch is a small library, and inserted in the wall outside the room is an incised slab, recording the foundation of the library by Thomas Lord Trevor, in 1740. In 1868 the church was restored by the parishioners, the chancel rebuilt at the cost of the Hon. Miss Rice-Trevor, and a chapel erected over the Dynevor family vault by the late Lord Dynevor. The register dates from the year 1570 and the list of incumbents from the year 1225.
Please take time to explore the peace and tranquility, but please be respectful in the church and its grounds.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
