This is the first of a series I intend to place on or near stiles on a cicular walk joining the 2 ancient villages of Bishopthorpe and Acaster Malbis. This cache is stuated near Holy Trinity Church Acaster Malbis and can be done as a drive by.

History

The Romans had a settlement here and after the Norman conquest the D’Acaster family built a church around 1100. The Malbysse family came to England with William the Conqueror and the two families of D’Acaster and Malbysse were united in marriage. Richard Malbysse, known as “Mala Bestia”, was fined £40 for his part in the infamous massacre of the Jews in Clifford’s Tower in 1190.

The present cruciform church, with its recently restored wooden spire, was built in the first half of the 14th century. The East Window retains glass from the mid 14th century.
